Both as a session musician and a live band member, he has worked with a wide range of musicians, including David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Sting, Wayne Krantz, Patti Austin, John Mayer, Jovanotti, Chuck Loeb, Mark Guiliana, Jamie Cullum, and Chris Botti.[2][3] Also being a member of the Tedeschi Trucks Band,[4] he also performed on various film and television scores, including Ocean's Twelve, The Departed, Analyze That, The Sopranos and 30 Rock.[3][5]
