When you get back, I'd like to hear a review (as I'm sure others will, also). I've really been getting into his stuff ever since Jeff H. started posting some of his transcriptions.

Thanks,

Kurt Z

It's just after midnight and we heard two sets by his big band. I bought two of four CD's also.

He plays a beautiful silver Vintage One that he said was just designed or built for him by a guy from Elkhart-- Fred Powell and that he was in the audience.

Carl sizzles.

More later.
