I see no harm if he goes either to Eclectic or Jazz Rock - I'll see what people think.

| He is an american citizen ,but was born In Osaka - Japan - so is a japanese by origins. Anyway this guy fits to eclectic I guess more then to jazz. remains to see where is included. |

| I think Eclectic is better decision. He has some jazz fusion elements, but besides he has more different music, so JRF isn't a best label, I think. |
