His improv skills, tone, and phrasing are lightyears ahead of anyone his age. The solo he played is nothing short of what I'd expect from a professional.
It's interesting -- my reaction to young Cafiso is exactly the same as that I had to Wynton Marsalis the first time I heard him about 20-25 years ago. It amounts to "What a talent! I hope he learns some better discipline as he grows up. At least half of music is the silence between the notes!"ike Marsalis, Cafiso has obviously listened to a lot Bird and Diz and their generation and absorbed their gestalt; now he needs to learn to join forces with the audience.
Amazing....

Excellent 10/10. And I'm a harsh critic.

Marsalis and Cafiso said the same statments in call response around 7:20-7:23. Those must be the best ears of any 14 year old in the world!
