Rufus is one of the leading voices of cutting edge cello today. His technique and musicianship inspire awe and critics have characterized his playing as "powerful…exploring territory that is positively otherworldly." Rufus plays a self-designed five-string electric cello that extends the bass range of the cello and through amplification expands its tonal possibilities. His rhythmic and sonic approach has led to collaborations with musicians from the Balkans, Ireland, West Africa, Greece and the Caribbean. He has backed the great singers Aretha Franklin and Kasse Mady and has performed at jazz, dance and world music festivals throughout Europe and the Americas. Rufus was at the core of the rhythm section of Urban Tap, a dance company he toured with extensively. Rufus can be heard on cd with Songs for Cello (solo cello) , Bethany & Rufus, The Paradox Trio, Ross Daly, and Kif.
