Is Classic Delight the only solo work he has or is there more out there?
2616975, Yeah Classic Delights is the only solo release I know of...
Posted by Warren Coolidge, Wed Oct-19-11 12:41 AM
that was 2009..... the last thing that he sang on I believe was teh Rongetz Foundation Project...

but he's played Trombone on tons of stuff that I didn't realize too... with Maxwell and Jose James just to name a couple.
