Album Notes & Community Reviews

Nicknamed 'The Octopus' due to his massive hands and impossibly rapid reach across the fretboard, the virtuosic guitarist leads a phenomenal, pianoless trio session. Featuring the brilliant, highly percussive vibraphone work of Eddie Costa, the arrangements are incredibly complex yet delivered with a seemingly effortless, breezy cool jazz sensibility. The recording permanently established a staggering new benchmark for technical facility and harmonic sophistication in modern jazz guitar.
