Working in Paris during 1988-1989, he had the opportunity to study with the Caribbean jazz pianist and teacher Michel Sardaby.
After the Blue Note Cafe in 1990, Kevin moved to Toulouse where he experimented with percussionists and guitarists on the Toulouse scene. After a brief year in Toulouse, he returned to Merseyside for another IT assignment but continued his musical education with a music pedagogy course back in Murcia at the University under the tutelage of Jos Wuytack, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the Orff philosophy of music education.
He then contributed as accompanying pianist (along with saxophonist Dave Angol) to a Mike McKoy-led jazz course, again back at Murcia University under the initiation of friend Jose Antonio Clemente BUHLAL (Tono), head of the Music department (see tono-article.psd).
