He later had lessons from former Miles Davis drummer Philly Joe Jones, who lived in London in 1967 9, and he was also very influenced by another of Davis's drummers, Tony Williams. He read Greats at Oxford, where he put together a quartet with tenor player Pat Crumly and pianist Brian Priestley which played with visitors including saxophonists Bobby Wellins, Tony Coe and Joe Harriott, and blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon.
