He’s trying to keep the music out there. His dad’s dying wish to have his music played. He put a LOT of work into learning how his dad’s music works and trying to figure out what he was accomplishing. And he’s really good at playing it. Heavy on the improv too just like it should be, it’s really not a tribute band, it’s a continuing performance band. One of the things he specializes in is finding songs his dad didn’t actually play live for whatever reason, which involves a lot of digging in the vault.
