Gene Harris suggestions?
Get "Soular Energy" by the Ray Brown Trio, featuring Gene Harris. It is awesome; swinging piano jazz at it's best. Plus, it is a stellar recording.

Thanks for sharing this, I knew he was sick and that it did not look good for him. I discovered Vasser's music through Dickey Betts (Allman Brothers) album, "Highway Call".

Ryan Adams and the Cardinals Performance DC
I saw Ryan Adams and the Cardinals last night on David Letterman, the performend "Let It Ride". They sounded great, very tight, great guitars, cool song. Their new CD "Cold Roses" is excellent, I have been a fan of his since his Wiskeytown days.
