That version of Shattered from the last link is both unique and incredible…everyone should make it a point to listen to that one at some point today or tomorrow. I’ve never quite heard it played this way.
Sad day in the jazz world…the loss of two greats.
Gotta love that “American Beauty” Project. Hope someone gets a good copy up on eTree eventually.
