Well, as long as you're looking for someone who knows what they're doing, I guess he'll be okay. :ph34r:

The single difference until recent years for CV was the execution of jazz charts that either had never been done on the field before (Naima) or were considered "classic" jazz: something more at home in a stage band or jazz combo setting. The first departure from that would've been "Wild Party". Still, until 2008/09, eclectic, "real jazz" (as Sirius would put it) was the primary rep.

Today, however, is a new day with a new direction.

I agree it is a new day and a new direction at CV.
