And you were already working with ECM.

Yes.

And I made a quick sequence of about 40 minutes of music and then I said to David, "Well, you know, I need to run this by Manfred, you know.

He, he doesn't wanna just have, oh, where did that record come from?" And so I just sent it to Manfred just to s- see what, you know, if he was okay with it, and couple days later he says, "We wanna put this out." So that's, for Mick, the best possible result.

I think guitar world is gonna be very interested in this.

He made very few recordings.

A very modest guy, but he influenced or taught or mentored, you know, Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, Wolfgang Muthspiel, uh, you know, everybody.

Yeah
