Guidum is well worth getting too. And the Koinonia records are fun in an 80s-fusion kind of way :) Oh, and make sure you get the Laboriel/Mathieson/Landau/Colaiuta live at the baked potato album. It's amazing! wise move, Steve – the duo CD with Greg is outstanding. Guidum is well worth getting too. And the Koinonia records are fun in an 80s-fusion kind of way :)

I've always been amazed when watching him. (particularly funny when he's doing a signing for Yamaha at NAMM, and he wants to stop and chat to everyone asking for an autograph :) ) it’s great how many people have stories like yours Brian – Abe has so much time for the people he meets.

And I said something silly like "You are my hero". He gave me the biggest hug, and took several minutes from what was surely a very busy day to talk with me and autograph a cd. He was the most genuinely nice guy among a group of people (professional bassists) I have generally found to be nice guys. I'm no where near the caliber of Abe, but I am so much better having listened to him. He is STILL my hero.
