	He's already on our sister site Jazzmusicarchives, so I expect some of our collaborators will already be familiar with him. The sub genres listed for him on there are: Post Bop, World Fusion, Third Stream, and Post-Fusion Contemporary, but exactly how these might translate to the Jazz Rock/Fusion sub on this site I'm not quite sure...But it's not an area that I'm much of an expert on, so let's wait for someone who is to have a listen - and maybe comment.

	It's great stuff but not sure it fits in PA.

	Only one album would fit in PA : Mockroot certainly has a Zheulish feel, but that's not enough for inclusion, IMHO
