Playing with one of my dearest friends and musical/human soulmates, the ever brilliant Gordon Gottlieb, at his loft in NYC. You may not know him, but if you listen to Tony Bennet's and Amy Winehouse's last recording, that's Gordon with the long, extended vibe solo in the middle, or to Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, NY Phil, that's all him- and of course, he has heightened my work as well.
