How developed as a player/musician were you at 22?

Yeah...Jim Hodder was on that recording. His playing on Reelin' in the Years
is great. The entire show was posted but taken down. Young Kojo fits so
many of the parameters of the "Porcaro family" blessing. Clearly, a very
strong parental influence and direction. Helps if your kid's got serious game
as well!

Kojo Gigging...almost impossible to comment when a kid this young has so much
going on. The WOW factor fades at about 17 or 18 and then you're another
player with a lot of facility. This kid needs to also listen to Shawn Pelton.

This kid needs to also listen to Shawn Pelton.

No one needs to listen to Shawn Pelton. Ever.

This kid needs to also listen to Shawn Pelton.

No one needs to listen to Shawn Pelton. Ever.

I'll second that!

Kojo's uncle is Wallace Roney (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_Roney), and his Dad, Antoine, is a very formidable tenor player that has a few records as a leader and has worked with some of the finest in jazz. Clearly he has the gift, but when you come up with that kind of musicianship around you it sure doesn't hurt. Certainly not belittling his badassery though.
