Listening to this album yet again:





Eick's trumpet tone reminds me of the great late Kenny Wheeler and, like Wheeler, his note choice and the emotion behind what he's playing really tugs at the heartstrings.

One of my favorite jazz saxophonists. Such remarkable consistency in his style and playing through his entire musical life.

Last hour I've been watching lots of Lenny Breau on Youtube, he's such an impressive guitarist with such a tender expressiveness

Yeah, he was a fine, fine player. You ever listen to Ted Greene? Or even Danny Gatton?
