I was never drawn much to the crossover stuff MJQ did either, even though those guys were all great musicians and did it really well.

I remember that album. It was pretty well done, IIRC.

Yeah, I knew Josh, and I do think it was smart and pretty well done. Still, it struck me as rock music for people who don't like rock music, and Baroque music for people who don't like Baroque music, Kind of like Claude Bolling's music that he wrote for Rampal and Yo Yo Ma, both of which I've played (the Flute Suite with Bolling and Rampal at Carnegie Hall, years ago). Bolling and Rifkin are both fine musicians, but I find these particular projects neither fish nor fowl, and I am mystified by their success. Of course, there's George Winston and Kenny G, and I am at a loss to explain that too. :-)
