I agree on "at the pershing"
Intresting thing:jamal produced Hiromi: another mind ,imo an absolute must have cd.
And you are right he is long,long,long around.
think his carrere has similarities in lenght with that of miles davis.

Not to forget the absolutely stunning "Live at the Alhambra" which is my favorit record of him.
