- Influenced by Keith Jarrett, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian, Grant Green and Roy Ayers.
- Acknowledged as one of the "initial pioneers of the global acid jazz movement".
- His music is a initial example of the fusion of smooth jazz, acid jazz, hip-hop and funk that helped formulate the acid jazz movement.
