He is certainly as original, innovative and distinctive a player as Hendrix. When he plays guitar, that is, he only conducts in the Ensemble.

Yeah, I know everyone's probably seen it, but damn I just love this video so much.

Say what you will, but the original Ascension is definitely one of my top 50 or so favourite albums ever, and nothing Hendrix ever recorded comes close (as amazing as he was).
