Wibert 'Junior' Gill came to New York in
2003 as part of Billy Cobham's Culturemix and played at the Iridium.
But this Zurich-based musician is an in-demand performer around the world
in his own right, and is a prolific pannist. Gill is featured on
the 1999 CD called Caribeye. One
of its nine tracks

is first up on this
edition of
Cool Steel.
