    I think it's a great concept, but a lot of the demo videos are oddball artists doing oddball conceptual music. Now that I've seen this video I can totally see Chick and lots of other keyboard players saying "WOW - got to get me one!" He's among the most creative and open-minded musicians out there in my opinion - would be a great endorsement if they can catch him playing one.
    You guys are obviously very talented yourselves - great job!

      Corey Henry is working his way to the top of the jazz ladder in my opinion. He plays with Snarky Puppy which is easily one of my favorite jazz bands touring right now.
