I need to find more of his music

I have ONE song of his from iTunes called Spiritual Dance from a 2000 record called Standing Ovation and it's pretty incredible.

The cover of that album has a big quote on it that says, "The Best LP I Ever Made"....

Always wondered if he was joking or serious with that

I cannot claim to be much of a fan but I did manage to see him twice..........and of course now I am SO glad I did! I thought this video I shot two years ago @ Yoshi's in Oakland was kind of special........not because of me, it's all because of Larry:

I'm a big fan of his 1970s band The Eleventh House.

They had Alphonse Mouzon on drums, and their sound hits the "sweet spot" of fusion for me: along the lines of Jeff Beck "Wired" or Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters," which is to say, it has the balls of rock music, the sophistication of jazz, but it's still organic and analog sounding. No elevator music and not too abstract.
