@06honda919 That explains a lot. After hearing this I'm a new Skolnick fan - had no idea he had this kind of musical knowledge. The jazz players I've known can all sight-read like a mother, they know the rules of the road (theory)- AND they have a great ear and great chops. And they can write and arrange - the whole thing. It takes formal training to get there for most players.

Alex graduated! He earned a BFA from New School University's jazz program (class of 2001) Great player!

@fruitywheelz Well, actually, no, it's not. Pretty much the opposite, though a bunch of pretentious pricks sometimes think otherwise.
But, this is a great performance, and would be no matter what genre they played in, because they're good.
