Steve has worked for and shared the stage with other great American artists such as singer Joe Williams, bandleader and drummer, Louie Bellson, jazz organist Dr. Lonnie Smith as well as being music director for Morgana King. He recently returned from New Orleans’ Snug Harbor, where he was the featured artist in an all star band which included Jason Marsalis on drums. Dr. Lonnie Smith has said about Steve: "Steve is beautiful and I don't say that about many people.'"

The Molecular Organ Trio will be giving musical nods to mentors such as Wes Montgomery and the legendary Les Paul, as well as original compositions and other surprising gems. As Steve puts it: “ I am so glad to have Akiko who has been touring with Lou Donaldson and McClenty Hunter, with me – there’s going to be a very deep groove going on. It will be a great show full of surprises” Yes, this will be the real deal.
