howdy,
if you could form a group with only people you haven't yet played with, who would you get? which guitarists are your favorite to play with?thanks for all the music. saw endangered blood in Oakland recently and I left wobbly from how great it was. hope to see you get an sfjazz resident artistic director slot one of these days.

MY ANSWER:

One great thing about having a residency at the Stone in NY is that you can hire whoever you want, which is basically what I did. I don’t get to play with Gerald Cleaver enough. There are too many I have never played with to list. Basically everyone. As far as guitarists I love Mary Halvorson, Brandon Seabrook, Nels Cline, Wendy Eisenberg…..
