Thank you for this lowdown, greasy, feeling infused bluesy jazz. Old school sweetness. Tearing it up.

Never heard of this guy, but he's the guitar player on Jackie Ryan's new CD - which is doing really well so a lot more people will be hearing him. Nice touch.

First: This guy is absolutely fantastic. Style owes a lot to Grant Green, emotionally, but of course much more use of chords, much more virtuoso. Can anybody tell me how he plays it? My eyes are no longer good enough to see his right hand clearly. Pick, thumb pick, naked finger tips...?

Great on every level. Every player a master of his own instrument and each of them has that "feel" that makes this work so well.

these guys are the led zeppelin of jazz!!!!!!! amazing!!!

Graham - man, you can play! And you keep good company in your band. Is Diana hunting you down for stealing her rhythm section? Perhaps you're just borrowing it. I love your articulation. You don't just play fast like a machine. Your quick lines have shape and variation - you give each note a different accent so the line makes sense and has funk and personality. I'll see you when you come to Detroit.
Paul Gibby
Not every guitarist wants to play a Blues in Db. Swinging stuff!
