I recently listened to three or four of his most acclaimed works, and I must say I was amazed. I only knew him from the two singles "Steppin' Out" and "Breaking Us in Two" from the monumental "Night and Day," which I quite liked, but I had never delved deeper. I believe he deserves a place in the Olympus or on the outskirts of Olympus... outstanding technique, compositional class, and flashes of punk-new-wave-jazz-latino genius. Highly underrated.
