Great stuff, I'm a Chico Hamilton fan as he pretty much started the 'fusion' jazz thing I got hookeed on in the 70's and even gave some of my favourite musicians like guitarist Larry Coryell a start.
But 2 fingered piano is a new one to me, and I see from google there's a lot on it and Hamp. I guess its the vibist using his fingers as mallets. Well you learn sumpin new every day, thanks Paco.
'hookeed'? Did I write that? Oh dear.

I think that's exactly right.
