I came across your blog and your wonderful paintings by searching online for information about Javier Mas. I saw Cohen in concert in Chicago, IL, USA several days ago, renewing my love for his music, but also being introduced to Javier Mas, who provided the highlight of the show with his playing on "Who By Fire". (Well, the whole show was filled with highlights.) The show's superb lighting gave a shadow to Javier on the backdrop that was thirty feet tall. Mas' music reminds me a lot of Anouar Brahem, the Tunisian oud player, whom I like a lot.

Thanks John, I agree, the standard of musicians playing with LC were exceptional. It was the first time I had seen Javier play and he was superb, I love his opening to Gypsy Wife.
