His recording career is as equally varied as it vast; the jazz idiom, rhythm and blues, and most African derived percussion styles are represented in his discography. He has long been acknowledged as one of New York City’s master teachers of African Drumming and the rhythms of the Diaspora in the Americas. Bab Don is presently on faculty at the Harlem School Of the Arts for over 25 years, teaching all ages from 4 years of age to adults.
