Alec,

Jack is as good a musician as I have heard. A bit angry at times but he
plays any instrument and has released music in Blues, Rock, Jazz, and I'm
sure other styles. His harp is not on enough of his songs but I have really
enjoyed the energy and style of most of his music. His great tone on a harp
comes from a great voice and just being a fabulous musician. His main
instrument is bass with a scolarship at 17 to play cello at a Scottish music
school. Here is a man with music gifts, trained somewhat, and just an
approach to most music I love. He is fast and talented but that is only a
part of what moves me with his music. Again it is all subjective as to who
I like, but part is I heard him in 1968 and have followed him since.

I think his most recent harp music is 1988. Does anybody know on this?
