I mean Henry is off the charts and Frank has the magic touch but can we please give it up for the bassist!?! That solo was so stinkin good-

[NormanLor]

This man Henry Acker has inspired me to actually give up playing my guitars and sell them. Thank you

[danielibarra]

I like the work of the drummer and bassist. Both do their job discreetly but precisely, without show. In my country about this kind of experience it is often said "an old dog barks lying down."

[Mattshank-uojl]

This kid has such a wonderful maturity in his playing. Bright future ahead for him IMHO.

[groovelife]

Gary Mazzaroppi is such an amazing bass player. One of the best I've ever heard.

[franciscolopez]

This kid is gonna go a long way. Overall, bravo to all of them.

There're very few feelings that beat the joy of sharing the stage with one of your pupils and having them wipe the floor with you. When this happens, you know you've done good ❤

I notice a good dose of gypsy influences in Henry's playing. A talented boy.

The snare is a pure piece of beauty. Punchy, yet full of tone. And played by a real master... 🙂

[john]

Terrific. Everyone played their socks off!

[Earlvis]

“All of Me” is one of my favorites. This is a fantastic performance by all!

[jazzfusionfan]

The kid is excellent, way above his years. Great melodic and harmonic sense.

[pickersparadise]

Wow…… perfect !!!! hearing Wes, Charlie Christian …….. flawless, tasteful….. in short : this young guy has got it going on ! Right

[peterewski]

I’d love to just hang around that place and listen to this wonderful band all evening. Great talent. As a drummer for many years (don’t play anymore) I can just imagine playing with these guys and loving it. Thank you for giving me those feelings again. ❤

[rocketmanmarcb]

That is as good as it gets. An impressive assortment of highly qualified musicians.

[JohnTurner-wo]

FANTASTIC. Player and youth into jazz. Right on.

[jamesrogers]

THAT is what I call a tight group. What fun to hear music done so well. Thank you, fellas, and the sky is yours young Mr. Acker!

[patrickbush]

They just get better every generation.

Beautiful Gibson ES175. I used to own one. Loved to play the blues on it.
