I think I was in Erq's combo the next year ... he was a great teacher and I remember how he taught us guitarist the import of playing 4 note voicings for chords, and how to move them around the neck ...I still have his cassette DEMO and the invaluable chord booklet - one of the best guitarists I've ever studied with and let me say I went on to attend Bellarmine College and got to attend clinics with some of the best Jazz Guitarists of all time ... Howard Roberts, Jim Hall, Tal Farlow etc. ... I was blessed to have been part of the crew to hang out with them outside formal study , etc. ... dinner, stories and jokes - Steve Erquiaga IS a incredible talent and educator - THANKS STEVE !!!!

Some of the most amazing playing I ever heard at Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshops evening concerts. Hope you're well Steve, sure miss hearing and talking to you Brother.

This should not have less than 4k views. Ed Soph is basically playing the past, present, and future of drumming at the same time. Woah. Everyone else is killing, but I'm a drummer soooo

Ed is killing it here. His dynamics are especially masterful. Playing parts similar to what he's playing, at that tempo, with conviction, yet not overwhelming the other two players, is an art unto itself.

Wow! Had this trio been marketed to the level that the Pat Metheny bands were this band would have been super successful in the jazz fusion world. These musicians likely thought something like, "Let's play for these Aebersold Jazz Camp students and go to our hotel."
