	ds with the likes of Lou Rawls\, Frankie Valli\, Shirley Basey\, Jack

	s the many of the famous Motown acts like the Temptations and the Four
	 Tops. Aside from this he has performed along side of Salsa legends li
	ke Candido\, Bobby Sanabria and Lou Perez. However playing jazz is rea
	lly closest to Lou’s heart and he has had the opportunity to perform
	 with people like trumpeter    Richard Williams\, pianists Duke Jordan
	 and Jaki Byard\, drummers Walter Perkins and Mousey Alexander (in his
	 short lived big band) vocalist Joe “Be-Bop” Carroll and Dakota St
	aton\, bassist Chris White (including a Carnegie Hall appearance). He
