Jonathan Fritzen / Diamonds

Jay Rowe is an excellent player-unfortunately he is known more as a sideman-I respect Jeff Lorber for playing smaller venues to get out there. Unfortunately the younger generation like Jonathan look to Brian Culbertson as the benchmark for success in SJ.Brian is more entertainer (to me) and when I recently saw him perform,much of his set was programmed by sequencers. Until they realize that the commercial radio format known as SJ is no longer relevant we'll get the clones.The word unfortunately doesn't travel very fast

Patrick Bradley, Jay Rowe and Tony Vattimo are the keyboardists I have heard recently that don't sound like they hatched out of the Culbertson nest. Bradley is tight with Lorber but doesn't imitate him. Rowe just put out a live CD that shows what he can do when he cuts loose, and a few right here were high on Tony V when it first came out.

Love all of these guys. Jay Rowe is sensational, and a super nice guy. Finally met him in person at Ramshead with Ken Navarro.
 
Imagine this: Chieli Minucci, Chuck Loeb, Paul Jackson Jr. and Jay Rowe onstage at the same time. It happened at the Jax Jazz Festival. I wish they would do more gigs it appears to be a one time thing. I have video but have to fix my other computer before I can upload it.
