By the time Detroit bassist Ralphe Armstrong was just 20 years old, his touring and recording accomplishments were beyond what the average musician strives a lifetime to achieve. Son of legendary visual artists musician, composer, poet, storyteller Howard “Louie Bluie” Armstrong, Ralphe came from a musical family. While still in his teens, he was hired by John McLaughlin to perform in the Mahavishnu Orchestra. He has since toured and recorded with Frank Zappa, Jean-Luc Ponty, Carlos Santana, Geri Allen, Lenny White, Herbie Hancock and more.
