4 stars Touching magic
The Jazz guitar virtuoso's accomplished technique was apparent from the start, as marvelous cover songs and arresting originals transported and extended what the sub-genre usually portrayed.

3 stars Good Trick That Wears Off In Time
This album floored me when I first heard it, but shrunk in stature over time. The trick is he hammers the strings with his fingers, so he's able to play bass lines and melody at the same time. (Borrowed a little from bluesman Robert Johnson). This works on "Elenor Rigby" but grows a little stale on "Freddie Freeloader" or "Fundance." "Return Expedition" is a good sampler as well, in which he flies off in a improvisational solo that defies gravity. But the rest of the album seems too mannered and disappears into the background.
