I looked through 14 pages of headings and did a few searches, but I can't find any discussion of his playing.
I haven't been exposed to that much, but for the past few hours I've been listening to the Art of the Trio albums. His playing is absolutely beautiful. Are there any places (albums, websites) where I can find more information on him and his playing. Any information from any of you in the TB world would be great to.
Thanks.

Definately one of the greats IMO... |

Jorge Rossy was playing drums. He just used a mike onstage and played great. His playing with Brad Mehldau is my favorite but he sounds great with everyone. |

So Stan's last CD was called "Jigsaw" and featured a rhythm section of Marc Copland, Bill Stewart and Larry Grenadier - somw really nice original tunes, great sound and lovely playing from all!! 
Hear some samples here : http://www.stansulzmann.co.uk/jigsaw.htm

He looks about 14 in the pic. |
