There're are some videos on the Tube.
I have splitting thoughts about him: the pop star and the guy that can seriously play a guitar.
What's your thought Jeff?

A very fine CD of piano/sax duets.

I have become a fan and a completist with JM. I got hooked on "Any Given Thursday" (live pop-era) which showed his stellar guitar playing. I was privileged to see him with Pino and Steve J in the trio format on Sept 8, 2005 - amazing display of musicianship by all three. I have all his albums now and like Trio "Try" and band "Continuum" best so far - but I expect that to change on July 1 when we get the release of the new one here in the states. The longer I listen the less the "pop" matters and the skills come to the fore. He continues to evolve, I look forward to anything he does.

Hope you are well, Gian, and the orbiting (sanding) has subsided.

Good choice - that is a great EP.

Haydn's Surprise Sympony, Number 94 in G, has just sounded out here with great pleasure.

Unalloyed joi de vivre!

Davies, Concertgebouw [Amsterdam] on Philips. Still the best IMO!
