He also led his own small group late in the decade and attended the University of California. He worked in France in the early 1960s, playing with Zoot Sims, Vi Redd, Curtis Amy, and Victor Feldman. Later in the decade he worked with Joe Pass and extensively with George Shearing. In the 1970s he worked with Albany once again.
