Here's some footage of Aaron + his awesome trio of Ruben Rogers on bass and Eric Harland on drums.
Here's a clip of my friend (Scottish guitarist extraordinaire) Keith More "warming up..." - I've known Keith for about 20 years now, he was one of my very earliest musical influences/mentors, he really inspired me to practice hard and maintain a serious work ethic in music.
Dave Matthews - "Some Devil"

Wow! is all I can say to this - I'd heard of Russell before but had no idea he was this good...
I really like their music - took me a long time to get into the "headspace".
Really beautiful song - Kate Bush is amazing, this must have been hard for her to sing. Few people can get such a warm & sensitive sound from the piano...

Prefab Sprout have been one of my favourite bands for the last 14 years or so now...this song comes from the album "Jordan The Comeback" - one of the most lyrically and sonically amazing records ever made...(produced by Thomas Dolby).
I can't believe some of the things these guys can play - you probably have to grow up playing that music from a young age to have any realistic chance of getting to that level. I know weddings can last for several hours there with non-stop music throughout- that would get your chops up pretty fast! We tried to play music with these influences in Bruford's Earthworks - just getting through the melody alone was usually a major achievement!
OK this is not for the faint-hearted, non-jazz lovers might want to look away now :)
Watch me get smoked by Frank Gambale in this clip my Uncle (Nick) posted recently on youtube!
One of my favourite musicians you may not have heard of yet...we did a quartet gig with him a while back with Tim Garland and Don Paterson which was very successful. He is also an incredible full kit player too!
