I used to live in Chicago in late 70s till early 80s, Saw Larry Coryell, John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola Etc. and one day my Sis in law said see Frank P. WAS BLOWN AWAY by this local. He can shuck the corn!
I had the good fortune of taking 3 semester length classes with Frank. He is an awesome teacher. He knows what you need to know and when to teach it to you.
Frank Portolese: What is process, Brett?
Brett: What is process?
Portolese: The imposition of method!
"This (gesturing to saxophone) will take care of you if you put enough time into it. Music History won't or any other class you might take here"

This is as good a "jazz" guitar trio as there is anywhere. A "must see" whenever they work together!
