Everything he played was GOLD! And, he worked with two of my all-time favorites, Herb Ellis and Ray Brown, in the trio.

I did an extensive clinic with him on the PSR-9000Pro at Yamaha Head Office in Scarborough Ontario...awesome guy...humble, great sense of humor...a real gadget freak as well.

Definitely one of my heroes.

OSCAR ... that's all that need be said ...
As to his being a gadget freak, I am not surprised to hear that as a good number of years ago I saw a PBS special about him and it showed him in his studio playing a keyboard connected to PC that printed out what he had just played ... He was into 'notation software' I think before a lot of us knew it existed ...
