It's a dream come true meeting Jeff Parker and squeezing in a chat with him during Tortoise's meet and greet session after their show. He is, in my personal opinion, one of the best jazz guitarists today.
His solo work is what drew me to listen and to appreciate Tortoise. The fluency of his lines are second to none. You can see each and every note translate into an emotion from his facial expressions. It is truly amazing stuff.

I am so blessed to have met the man, and of course the rest of Tortoise. They are a great bunch of musicians, and I will always be a fanboy.
