    Just heard "Serenata" today for the first time on Pandora. I'm a big fan of piano and upright bass jazz. All I can say is Wow! When I heard the upright bass finger work playing through my new Infinity tower speakers, my jaw dropped. Simply amazing and astonishing! Bravo! I think I have a new favorite bass player!
