Mike Moreno is without a doubt my favorite of all the emerging jazz guitarists. His tone, which celebrates, but never copies the essence of Metheny, Martino and Abercrombie, his playing, and his strong compositional sense all draw from the best traditional jazz and jazz fusion, which to me places him head and shoulders above the pack. Thanks for the great interview
