Reviewed: 2018-03-31 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Amazing third CD by this former child prodigy guitarist, this CD showcases his highly-developed skills as a composer, his rhythmic facility, and his ability to craft an astonishing flow of single-note lines while traversing chord changes. The band is versatile & tight in more ways than one: dad is on bass & his brother is on drums.
