I caught this tour here in San Diego at the end of August, and was struck
with how seamlessly Tom transitions out of his loops. As I recall, one of
his techniques is to have a theme stated before he exits into loopland,
which he then restates to exit from the looped material--thus the
continuity. It helps that he is playing a two handed instrument, and can
create such a fully balanced sound.
CGT was good, it was the first time I had seen them--and Tony Levin on
bass,
also the first time I had seen him live.
