My word would be “originality.” I thought he was also very original also as a lyricist. Those lyrics are very interesting. The way he was able to scat and play the pans simultaneously is incredible! And I like the quality of his voice. He has a very, very interesting vocal quality.”

“I love this guy! Okay, where do I begin? He’s playing steel drum and singing-how many times do you see that? It is very innovative. His improvisation is really great! I love what he is doing! Singing with his instrument-I’ve never seen anyone do that. It’s a whole new twist!”
