Jean Claude LEROY Hey ! Do you remember when you are playing in saint Cezaire (i was the drummer) in the Frédéric cave ? What a so good moment, live, cool, on agust, it was holidays in France !
N-i-c-e...he has his own style of course but the guitar licks take me back to Earl Klugh. That's a huge compliment as I'm very selective w/ my choices of guitarists. I can't wait to see him live at Side Door!
I love this so much!! My Brothers playing so musically, and Wonderfully!!!🙏🏾❤️
Ed plays the jazz guitar with such command, soul, musical intelligence, it's simply a blessing.

everytime listen this song........blow my mind
These guys are all monsters, what great sounding instruments and a lit sound meld.
I first hear this tune in 1968, played then by Harvey Mandell. I prefer this version. Just love organ trios!!!
