Does anyone know where I can find/purchase recordings by Koei Tanaka? I can't seem to find him anywhere online...

I was in the SPAH audience very happy to see/hear Koei Tanaka, and ended up not only thrilled by his performance, but blown away by the 'Roger Smith Trio'...who'd only met Mr. Tanaka right before (with a very short rehearsal)...They were FABULOUS! Nice to finally learn the Bass player's name ;) ...thanks for this very cool video, Mike. You guys are the kind of jazz players we need at our Harmonica conventions...you sure added the right touch. Kudos!
