Last London stuff (no, really!)




Right as we were about to leave the hotel to fly to Sweden, I managed to organize the first in-person meeting between myself and my friend Rainer BrĂ¼ninghaus. I've been a fan of his work since about 1980, first interviewed him for a magazine in '87 and kept in touch sporadically since then. However, he never comes to the USA on tour anymore, and I wasn't over in Europe all that much so we never actually met face-to-face. It turned into a fun little "ECM summit" of sorts when JH and Jan Garbarek turned up.
From top: Rainer and I, Jon/Jan/Rainer, Jon and Rainer.
