Derek: Those two albuns are great, but the one i'm listening right now is Leni stern-closer to the light, try to listen to it if you haven't (it features wayne krantz as well as dennis chambers, lincoln goines, zach danziger and another bass player i can't recall his name). It's a great album, and i suspect that zach was only nineteen (not sure, read it in the liner notes, but may not interpreted it well). Also been listening to Terri Lyne's album, she's pretty good, Ah? [img]wink.gif[/img]

[Derek DeFields]

yeah, I've got that Leni Stern in addition to all her others with Dennis. (I think there are two more. Black Guitar and something else)

I'll check Zach's tracks on there again today.

Terri is a great player but I haven't heard her latest album yet. I need to check it out.
