At first, in the mid-eighties and early nineties, it’s discerning critics, musicians, and fans who understand the uniqueness of this pianist. But over the years, the size of the chorus grows louder and more insistent. He continues to record CDs with his early champions, among them John Abercrombie and Gary Peacock, and slowly adds a circle of respected, creative players who recognize his unique touch and harmonic sense. Building a catalogue of recordings at the rate of three to four releases a year, by the end of the new millennium's first decade he establishes himself as a major voice on his instrument.
