Alexis Van Eeckhout | |
Alexis composes and plays rich, inventive jazz; his sax-playing is pure mellifluous joy ... |

Bert Jansch | |
One of my earliest influences, a master craftsman. We were on the same bill once at the Half Moon in Putney (London), and he bought me a beer. What a nice man ! |

Bob Dylan | |
"By far the most talented, crazy person I ever worked with
..." - Joan Baez |

Another early influence, John introduced me to open tunings on the guitar. |

A gifted songwriter in her own right, she discovered Leonard Cohen, Sandy Denny, Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman, Robin Williamson and Richard Fariña long before the rest of us. |

solid-body electric-guitar. Brilliant lyricist to boot. |

A prodigious talent, and a pleasure to work with. |

Another early influence from the 60's. Still going strong. |
