Regular Fretter
I owned my record store when the Breezin' LP came out. I didn't much care for it - that too lite, muzak jazz fusion stuff was just so watered down.
But I did notice that he played Ibanez, and that one album is credited for putting Ibanez on the map in a big way.
Some of those vids you guys posted are pretty good. It's good to know he has some real chops! Bravo!
