His technique is impressive, his phrasing is choice and he does have a good, gritty tone on the blues and up tempo numbers. He seems a tad stiff , though, on the blues--there is an exacting precision that matches the more structured classical pieces in this video. I understand precision and exactitude for serious concert music, but blues and boogie suffer from too much of it. I love his playing , though, his ideas are solid. I expect that he'll develop a natural fluidity as he gets older. Thanks for posting. ---------- Ted Burke http://youtube.com/watch?v=-VPUDjK-ibQ&feature=relmfu ted-burke.com tburke4@san.rr.co,
