I came here following a google connect from keywords "David Sylvian" & "Jazz" and found Otso Lahdeoja. This is groundbreaking and I hate to rock some boats here but it's almost an insult to Otso to compare him to Michael Brooks and David Gilmour. I've liked them both but this is more cutting-edge and isn't tired sounding like many dinosaurs of old sound to me now because of their meandering, pointless solos and over-layered compositions. You mentioned Sylvian. He's a more appropriate comparison because he has always understood the natural power and openness of space, never sounding like a showoff or a college hippie. Thank you for turning me onto Otso. I will be buying "Yonder" soon - Michael FierceM Pereira and Michael Fiercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06996100158349647548noreply@blogger.com
