Often called the Minister of Groove, Zoro also authored the No. 1 award-winning and best-selling book and DVD package The Commandments of R&B Drumming (Alfred). The Commandments of Early Rhythm & Blues Drumming–his second effort in collaboration with Daniel Glass–is another award-gathering musicians manual published by Alfred.

According to masters of the music business, Zoro has earned the credibility to inspire readers to aspire higher.

Grammy®-winning recording artist Lenny Kravitz writes in his foreword to The Big Gig: “Zoro’s heart, discipline and passion are what propelled him to greatness. … His music and life lessons are about using your God-given talents to the maximum.”

Multi-award winning producer and music icon Quincy Jones says of the book: “Filled with deep words of wisdom, The Big Gig is one of the most thorough, absorbing and insightful texts written on the art of being an artist that I have ever read. You will be inspired beyond your imagination, in a profoundly deep and meaningful way.”

And Davey Johnstone, musical director and guitarist for Elton John, weighs in: “Because of his success and longevity as a player, author, educator, clinician and motivational speaker, Zoro is the only one I can think of who is legitimately qualified to cover the broad scope of this book with total authority. Zoro does an extraordinary job of merging the art of performing with the art of commerce and gives a blueprint for connecting heart, soul, mind and body to your craft and life’s purpose.”

In addition to Lenny, Quincy, and Davey, The Big Gig is endorsed by dozens of highly successful personalities ranging from Philippe Schaeffer, president of Rolex France, to actor Stephen Baldwin and Bible teacher Joyce Meyer.
