Generally I like his stuff but it gets a little too hectic. Works well with
Miles but his own releases from the 70's are too rock-noise-y .
The record above though is mostly acousitc guitar, with one side
solo, the other side accompanied. Real nice.
also, on the Indian Vibes, check out Making Music which features
Zakir Hussain, McLaughlin, Jan Garbarek (?), Hariprasad Charasi,
& someone else.
One of the most beautiful recordings I ever heard!!
