In den 1950er-Jahren spielte er außerdem mit Sy Oliver, Bernie Leighton, Jerry Jerome, Edgar Sampson, Johnny Guarnieri, Buddy Lucas und John Carisi (The New Jazz Sound of “Show Boat”, 1959). Anfang der 1970er-Jahre hatte er ein Gitarrenduo mit Sal Salvador, mit dem er das Album Live in Concert at the University of Bridgeport (GP Records) veröffentlichte; weitere Aufnahmen entstanden noch mit Bucky Pizzarelli.
