Throughout his busy, creative career, Frank has performed with Art Porter, Freddie Hubbard, Ramsey Lewis, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Alphonse Mouzon, Ken Chaney, Nicholas Barron, Mike Wolf, Willie Pickens and many others. He has also recorded five CDs with Chicago guitarist Henry Johnson and is a past recipient of the Hennessy Best of Chicago Jazz Search. Frank’s debut CD, Covering All Basses, was released in 2005. Frank is a bad ass bass player with a special love for the contemporary jazz of Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock etc. Make no mistake though; Frank can swing mainstream jazz with the best of bassists.
