With Dee Dee Bridgewater, he participated in two editions of the Sanremo Festival.
Since 2005, he has been a member of the historic The Giants, a true legend of the 1960s. In 2010 he began a collaboration with guitarist Roby Facini, resulting in the new band of Riccardo Fogli and in the project Venice Band.
