Excellent!
Well, as you know, the Artie Shaw Concerto puts certain demands on the soloist that most orchestral players seldom come across. Not too many great orchestral players can play that piece with a truly credible jazz feel. Zamora is a terrific player and the son of jazz musicians; he can definitely do it. There is a clip on youtube in which he talks about and demonstrates excerpts from the piece. Glad you got to hear it.
The infamous double high C at the end. Amazing!
