Otmaro is out of this planet ,, may be at this very present time we have 3 alike ,his is simply fantastic and so versatile this man can play any style and song and not only make it is his own but change it to something incredible , more power you sir
Grant knows the head; wish the sound man did. Stellar performance by Mr. Ruiz and Mr. Grossman, and that rhythm section was cooking with gas.... #HotJam
These guys are AMAZING, realllly good!!! It's like God touching them with supernatural power, lightning fast hands, super creative improvization, totally insync with each other. What they are doing is pure talent and a gift. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS MUSIC/JAZZ WITH ME. I LOVE IT.
Talk about a talented group of guys! They all got "chops"! "General" Grant Geisman, as Chuck Mangione used to call him, is a special kind of guitar player!
Man! All I got to say is Man! What a fine bunch of jamming artists! Umphh! Umphh! Umphh! Thank you for letting us in on the production of a treasure. There is nothing like seeing close up the emotions of an artist as he / she is creating. That treasure is missing from a CD, DVD,tape, LP, the Greek Theater or the Hollywood Bowl. Thank you....
Everyone of these guys are the cream of L.A. session players. Grant Geissman has like the best instincts for lead playing. His mixture of guitar technique and beautiful ideas always gets to my musical heart.
I hear that piano player reference quite a lot of things xD especially near the end he referenced Lyle Mays in a Patheny tune. Err, which one was it, but I definitely recognized it xD
The iconic solo on "Feels So Good", no less! He still hasn't lived it down, and probably doesn't want to, but we all should realize that's one song and he's played about a million by now ;)
Excellent. But in my opinion snare a little too pronounced, good drumming, but too loud either needed to be muted with a cloth or amplified less/a mixing adjustment? Just my opinion. Otherwise great!
Everyone's playing is so effortless but at the same time super-locked. Inspiring.
Agree the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike DeGroff hhi
Grant's playing just seems to flow effortlessly from a great reservoir of talent.
Very great musicians, each of them played with the best jazz and fusion stars.
It doesn't take a melon-head to enjoy being on Cantaloupe Island with these magical musicians...
Incredible talents in one! Otmaro Ruiz, you are unbelievable jazz man artist!
