My balkan group got to open for his band. The man is so powerful, he gets goin on an improvisation 5 minutes he's just gettin started. Just the physicality of what he does alone not to mention he's an absolutely genius. you gotta pump them bellows. his new album features a jazz guitarist who blends with bulgarian traditional music with a clean gibson L5 jazz sound that is so cool..
