 * Delete. Is this man a guitar player? A producer? A graphic designer? A comedian? A skateboarder? The article seems unable to decide, but what I can decide is that there's no evidence that either of his albums are notable. The fact that a bunch of the article text is patterned after Rahsaan Roland Kirk also makes me dubious of a lot of the phrasing which was lifted from there.

 * Speedy delete Self-promotion? I agree with the article that he may be "best known for his vitality on stage, where his freestyle improvisation was very antimated". But that's not quite enough for an article in an encyclopedia. ChildofMidnight (talk) 09:57, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
