I had the pleasure of playing a concert with him at university. It was very soon after his wife passed away, but he still graciously made the long trip out to spend the week teaching and playing at our school. He was a joy to work with - great sense of humor, humble, fantastic teacher, and of course incredibly talented.

Well said! And I am pretty sure that most share the same thoughts about the coming together of diverse musical/cultural backgrounds.
