I was listening to his stuff recently to. I never really realized how unique to him and the band their music is. I don't think it's possible to get the same sound as the band did with the same music. Like the Chevy Silverado commercial that came out in the late 90's that used a remade version of "Voodoo Chile", it sucked. The recording quality, placement of instruments, solos, and vocals are done in such a way that the music doesn't sound cheesy, even though it really is. Frank Zappa has that flare for writing and performance as well. No shit, they're musical ninja's, but I think few people appreciate the work & experience that goes into such music.
I really like your portraits of musicians. Especially the one you did of Bill Bruford. :)
