In 1993 he was invited to perform for the first time in the USA. He played with Red Holloway and Albert "Tootie" Heath on a tour of the West Coast.
He has played since with Shawnn Monteiro's band, ith Keter Betts and Bobby Durham, as well as playing several European tours with the Nat Adderley Quintet, composed by Antonio Hart, Walter Booker and Jimmy Cobb.
