Great!!! He's probably one of the few jazz bassists in the world who has the chops to give Bireli a run for his money!!! Too much! I'm getting this one.
What sad news. I didn't know he had passed away. Man, another Giant has left us. He was a true Master. My first introduction to NHOP was the old Pablo album with Joe Pass: "Chops". I will miss him.

His CD with the brothers Ferre was my introduction to modern gypsy jazz. 18 years later, I still listen to it often...
