I've actually thought that even though his slow stuff is out of this world, what propels Keith's greatness for me is that he is versatile in this way. He has these awesome left hand grooves where he just disappears from space-time. Semi-pro pianist Tuesdays 5-8 at Vince's West Sacramento, California
