My Testimonials

July 28, 2007
Jacques is one badass with a heart O' gold.
and he makes a damn good curry.
'nuff said
November 26, 2006
This guy truly appreciates the finer things in life.
Whether it be music, beer, or pirate clothes, Jacques has good taste.

He has a better understanding of self-discipline and hard work than most darbuka students I've ever taught, but at the same time he's humble and generally easy going.

There will always be a place for this guy on my couch in Istanbul.

I'll be performing a suite of minor studies written by Fernando Sor and Mauro Guliani. Should be a very interesting night, with many diverse backgrounds and performers.

I'm sure my absence on the net and in the real world has been noticed by most everyone by now. The reason for this is simple. I've been working non-stop either at my job or on the new house for several months now. But alas, my endeavours have fallen short.

Those who know me know that I rarely if ever ask for help, dont know if that's due to stupidity, pride or arrogance. Nonetheless, sometimes you gotta break with tradition.
