Although I recognize a Jazzy feel in Akkerman's style (also a bluesy feel, btw), I think the interaction between him and This Van Leer was more like Classical arrangements than Jazz arrangements. What I especially want to point out, though, is that Akkerman devoted a lot of his playing to long note swells with his pinky on the volume knob. Those notes would always sound like some symphonic something or other. It clearly wasn't violin, but I always had to remind myself that it was in fact produced by guitar as opposed to organ.
