And brickboo... I can't honestly recall a user demo from anyone a regular here, myself included, with skills as strong as this. I've heard some downtempo stuff that gave it a run, but when he moves into the double time soloing, no, in fairness, I can't recall any of us getting there.

This kind of supports something I believe... By the time your chops are this toned, you tend to play with PEOPLE! The best line up to play with YOU, and finding a gig that will support three of you isn't that big a chore provided you've got at least a minimum degree of people skills and showmanship. While the arranger is doing a decent job of following him around, it is still a poor substitute for a live drummer and bassist.

The better players can hear this. Sometimes I wonder if some here can.
