His father, also a drummer, took him to clubs to sit in with the band two years later. In the 1950s, he was a freelance drummer in San Francisco, then studied music in Oakland. He played professionally with Vince Guaraldi, Woody Shaw, Eddie Henderson, and Joe Henderson. Beginning in 1975 he played with Herbie Hancock and Hancock's jazz-funk band The Headhunters. In 1977 he was part of the jazz rock group Brand X. In the early 1980s, he joined guitarist Bill Frisell and bassist Percy Jones in the group Stone Tiger.
