B. H. is in my eyes the greatest contempory connector of classic, jazz and best pop music on piano. One of a kind. I love his extended poetic improvisations. Like a fresh shower of summer rain. And I like him sing so much. A wonderful smooth voice and phrasing. And his songs are b.t.w. simple awesome. I never get bored to listen to this music hundreds of times. Simple pleasure. Not to forget to mention that: This band ist phantastic! Look and listen what fun they all have e. g. from 33:10 to 35:00! Makes me smile broad to. I wished I could be there.

Dear Bruce...you make me cry and dream with happiness and joy / ecstasy with your rhythm and music .. I so dig what you do man.....

Seeing Bruce at many stages in his career I can say this, when he used the Range he played most songs as they were recorded. When he did his solo and then the band's he put together he let his jazz influences and the art of improvisation take front stage. Not all of his songs are performed that way but it's just like a solo for a drummer or guitarist in a show. He takes requests left on the stage and sits thru them and plays certain ones his set lists vary. He played a song I requested which was an older less known song so I know he tries to play what people want but in a different style. Not a selfish prick, he is an artist. Do you tell a painter or sculpturist how to do their art? You will like it or not but that's what makes him who he is.

Yes...I get it. And while I respect it...there is a reason why the label and everyone got behind his work 1984-1989. The material was great. The range were a perfect band to play it,too. But I wish he would return to doing short pieces that dont focus on soloing. A Motif,ok. But if 50% of the song is a guy blowing..well....I am not in for that. I say this, being a guy that writes,records and plays professionally . I respect Bruce...but i also declne to come out when it's isnt that condensed perfection that he distilled for us back when. There are few that can take the World and put it in 3:30. Bruce can. I wish he would LIKE to do that again (sans drum machine would be fine).

I had connections with the Dead many years ago. I was slated to open in Phoenix for Garcia's band during my musician days. The Great Jerry died a few months later, August 9, 1995. I had the honor of seeing Bruce with the Dead in 1991. Hornsby was an earth-shattering addition to the Dead. He's an inspiring, life-loving, genuine guy. One of the best. It seems like a lifetime ago.
