Ming truly is a really great guy. I have known him now since the '94 tour. I am very lucky that I live fairly close to him so I have had the opportunity to see him play in a number of venues with his own band. I have also met his son and wife. They are both delightful people, too.
His talents are endless. In one week, I saw him play Chinese music, blues and jazz.
His new album is really wonderful, too. I hope everyone will get a copy of it.
