This artist has a tragic history. A child prodigy, that made one extraordinary album and then had some sort of breakdown and vanished.

He wrote the album when 17. A mix of avant garde classical and Jazz fusion styles. There is some Zappa influence, but he approaches the music in a different way.

Andy Edwards discovered him recently and has a few videos on him on Youtube along with an interview with the Bassist that played on the album.

This video is from André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra's 2023 concerts in Maastricht.
Normally I'm not into his performances, although he has achieved an awful lot over the years, touring the globe and being very successful. He is a bit to much of a showman for my liking.

Then why this video?  Because of Emma Kok. A 15 year old girl with a terrible illness. Mr Rieu tells about it when he introduces her, a bit in Dutch but he translates it all into English.

Watching this video are 7.5 minutes well spent IMHO.
A really incredible live performance.
