He is the King.

Having said that, Tony is still a great player and I have a sneaky feeling that you must be Tony's favorite arranger player.

I am surely with you on this one, Ian.

Man oh man, the days, weeks, months, even years I spent listening to Jimmy Smith on every album I could get my hands on, in the left ear in a set of headphones, while trying to emulate his passages, timing and technique. Just his passing chords alone could be studied for years. For me, that was a wonderful and inspiring time to be a musican,
