Brings back incredible memories of a week of evenings ( and some afternoons) in 2005 at the Landing, when the band was in full flood, me off duty from an academic conference at Texas A&M University (from Scotland). Great to see John Sheridan again, plus Ron Hockett, but alas some of the others, Jim included, are gone. Jim and the band members were very welcoming at breaks and John played a fantastic solo version of 'Eye Opener' for me which could not have beem bettered by Bob Zurke! I was listening to the finest jazz of its kind in the world at that time. Thank you Jim and your superb band. I Hope Gabriel Likes Your Music!
