Just looked Zack up ... what a fantastic musician. The last time I saw Al Di Meola play live he had a new violinist Evan Garr who is also great. He had driven from Illinois to Toronto to hear Al play live. After the show he managed to meet Al backstage and told him how much he loved playing his music on violin. Al let him play violin with him backstage. After playing with him he asked what he was about to do that night. Evan said he was driving back to Illinois. Al said no you aren't you are playing with us tomorrow at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Al emptied his wallet of any cash and gave him money to stay and fly to Montreux to play with him. Evan is still his violin player. When I heard them play together last Al credited him with the line "And he is cheaper than Jean Luc"
