His diverse resume ranges from such past masters as Ruth Brown, Freddie Hubbard, David "Fathead" Newman and Gloria Lynne to current notables including Bobby Watson, Ben Allison, Bruce Barth, Orrin Evans, Joe Farnsworth, David Hazeltine, victor Lewis, Ralph Peterson Jr., Jim Rotondi, and E.J. Strickland. On his latest album, Polaris (SMK Jazz), Skaff fronts a trio featuring jazz icons Ron carter and Albert "Tootie" Heath. Throughout his eclectic career Skaff has performed on such revered stages as the Blue Note, Birdland, smalls, Mezzrow, Iridium, Zinc Bar, and Minton's Playhouse to Italy's Umbria Jazz Festival.
