Calling Him a virtuoso is an understatement, His combination of unbelivable technique with jazz feeling and spanish duende is supernatural. I try to play this piece right now, and feel as if I'm a russian tractor racing with a Ferrari. An enormous pity He left us...
I had the honor of seeing Paco de Lucia live at the Boston Orpheum theater, an intimate and wonderful venue circa 2003. It was a life changing experience. As a lifelong musician I have seen many performances, but have never been touched in the way I was that day. On his passing we lost one of the greatest musicians of our century.
