I heard him (up close) at a jam session at the hotel I was staying at a few years ago. He can play! I stayed downstairs 'till after 3 AM listening to him.

I bought it a couple months back (mine was hand numbered #59 out of 10,000).Terrific CD, great playing (Phil Woods plays his ass off, and Eddie is of course his usual superb self) and great writing. I got the package that included a few pdf's of tunes, and I transcribed Guajira Dubois for my kiddie latin band. It's pretty advanced but it is rounding into shape and they love the challenge.
