I was once hollerin' at this woman in LA who LOVED this guy and would send me CD burns of his stuff. I thought it was pleasant in the way piano jazz is generally pleasant but none of his shit blew my wig back. I'd rather listen to Jamie Cullum cover "Frontin."
he's a good player. and pop covers seem to distract from that. same with the bad plus.
somebody burned me everything by both, but I find myself wanting to take it off and put on Bill Evans' Riversidde records everytime. might also be the crap digital sound.
