There's a lot to fall in love with in that clip.  This stuff is striking and original in terms of line, rhythm, tone, chording, just about everything.  The sheer variety of approaches he uses is impressive.  It's about 40 years later, and the harp playing in particular still sounds very original and modern, not to mention emotionally potent.

Thanks for posting this link.
