Yes, he's lived there for many years (at least since the 70s - or maybe the 60s). Came to prominence over here with Humphrey Lyttleton's band on baritone prior to heading to the US. Very fine 'mainstream' player - as mentioned he has been a constant in the New York Jazz Repertory Orchestra, Lincoln Center Orchestra etc. Also saw him featured with Wynton on 'Single Petal' on one of those Lincoln Center Orchestra tours.
