Markus Stockhausen was here the same day Hakan was. He was giving us a masterclass while Hakan was practising downstairs and we could hear him through the floor (about 20 tonnes of concrete and steel and I could still hear his Hindemith!)
He seems like an amazing guy, stunning technique, a beautiful sound and he can play anything!
The "cross-over" thing really intrigues me, as someone who is interested in both jazz and classical playing. I'm studying classical full time, but I still play jazz. Different people have said different things to me about whether its a good idea (I talked to Richard Bissill, the principal horn in the LPO about it after I saw him jamming with Wynton & co!), but recently the concensus seems to be you need to be as flexible as possible these days, and at the end of the day its all music.
