  ## Biografia
  
  Dal 1956 al 1970 suonò nel The three sounds trio con il bassista Andy Simpkins e il batterista Bill Dowdy. In questo periodo il trio incise regolarmente per la Blue Note Records e la Verve. Nella fine degli anni settanta si stabilì a Boise, esibendosi con regolarità al Idanha Hotel. Riprese i tour all'inizio degli anni ottanta; suonò quindi con il Ray Brown trio e in seguito si esibì con gruppi propri, incidendo principalmente per Concord Records.
