Hello Nima: Enjoying your "Live in London" CD again - a world of versatility contained within that compact trio, and a subtly distinctive Stick sound on both bass and melody sides. Congratulations on recording a very dynamic and polished live concert and pulling it off without a "hitch". Soprano sax and drums with Stick was always my favorite combination too. Please pass on my compliments to Dan and Brad for just the right amount of improv versus themes, fire versus discipline, and for the incredible variety of rhythms, moods and orchestral textures. It seems a perfect interplay of three-way virtuosity and a "meeting of minds". Nice "payback" to your teacher on the first song "Hana", complete with Bob's variable left-hand motor rhythm from the late '70s. Also, I love all the passionate Latin rhythms and Flamenco harmonies. Now I'm listening to bombastic track #8 with the alternating accents of 3 and 4 and Dan is finally "letting it all hang out" on tenor sax. I hope you can sustain this band and that events will work in your favor. Best Regards, Emmett Chapman.
