I've been infatuated with this man's playing on his Entremundo, and Oriental Bass cds, and his playing on Nyugen Le's Le Trio, and Three Trio cds. Does anybody know any info about him, besides the standard google finds. Are there any dvds?

He has a DVD, it's the latest cd-DVD, and the most impressive thing is that is LIVE!!!  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...847165?ie=UTF8 Here you can find it!
Hope it works! |

That being said, I sometimes find his solos a little unimaginative in that he recycles a lot of licks and tricks, but I'm only hearing that in arcoluz. In oriental bass, I don't get that vibe nearly as much. That aside, you can't deny he has chops like nobody's business. |

It's only after a year of listening to Arcoluz a lot that it really started to bug me, so maybe I'm just getting tired of that album. Regardless, I'm still enjoying Oriental Bass a lot, and will continue to get his albums. |

The album Navigatore was the first I heard of him, and it still blows me away!
