Giving this a run tonight. First time I've ever heard any of his stuff and I'm not sure about it at all. Some is good, but the faster paced stuff is just winky wanky sh1te.
Every other track is good enough though.

This album just out this month.
Really nice record, very accessible, fine melodies and playing. A real mix of influences - European, Latin and Middle Eastern of course.
Also quite a prog rock vibe in places.

Spine tingling at times, always interesting and a joy to listen to, it's Art Pepper:
