JOANNE
BRACKEEN: In my
opinion, the most consistently inventive and
exciting pianist going.She has many great albums
out, and plays in Toronto [at the Montreal]

for a project called 'EGGSHELL CRACKED'.

BREAU:
I listened a lot, and talked a little, to this
true giant among guitarists. I stole many tricks
and licks from him, and I greatly look forward
to Ron Forbes-Roberts's upcoming biography,
