I've actually enjoyed most all his works. Even the early stuff.

Yes, I know, Michael’s music was way too mainstream for a “true jazz  
lover”, but I thought that his recent stuff was wonderful.

When I first heard him, years ago, his playing was a bit gawky.  Now,  
I’m inspired by how he took those meager beginnings and developed them  
into such powerful communication.  His music was both personal and, at  
the same time, rhythmic enough to dance to.

And whereas many an artist outlives his/her creativity and chops,  
Michael died in the middle of a growth spurt.   I, for one, will  
certainly miss him.
