Is it necessary for dude to include a Radiohead cover in (almost) every single record he puts out?Discutamos, por favor.

    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."

    Good One!

    This dude is divisive in jazz like Steely Dan is elsewhere.

    Radiohead covers are a nay, but his Blackbird cover gets him a ... uhhh ..... yay.

    neither. just eh

    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.

    and if this fucker's a source of divisiveness in jazz. no wonder i stopped giving a fuck.

    did this guy do a pretty decent cover of dear prudence about three years ago - with really good drums and a nice driving feel to it?

    John Brion + Brad Mehldau = good records (if yr into that sort of thing).
