i just started to listen to disc one. i had no preconcieved notions on what to expect - i just sat back on the couch, closed my eyes and listened. half-way through nonaah (track 1 disc 1) i was shaken by my 10 year old - "dad, dad!!!! what is that!!! why is he playing that over and ovar again!!! i can't get it out of my head!! make it STOP!!!!!" oh well - i will try to spin it again when i am alone in the house. thanks chuck for getting it to me!

I have this record, and the cover has always knocked me out. So does Mike Jones! He's a great pianist, sorta modernish Dave McKenna. Mike works in Las Vegas as Penn and Teller's musical director, and he should be much better known in the jazz world. (BTW, is this appropriate for this topic? Is 'stretching out' the same as 'lying down'? I mean, we have to have standards of accuracy!) mike jones is TOPS!!! though he looks quite different now than he did on that cover as a result of numerous tatoos and piercings.

just spun "Sentir"
