Lol...oh no you didn't, but it looks like you did.
Igor is better than Estas Tonne - why?
Well listened to some Estas, I take it he is classically trained, to my ears he is too structured too well behaived - as broke as he looked too refined.
I find its like listening to the Japanese/Chinese artist, too much discipline.
They also have a tendency to use backing tracks.
Igor is raw! ...With a deep understanding of his instrument he plays free, yes these are his interpretation/composition of others music but he owns the tracks he plays, duff notes/chords an all.
Just my opinion though - still looking for his CD the down loads are not crisp.
Actually, you like Jazz try this album.
D'Angelo's - 'Brown sugar' it a fusion of jazz/soul and R&B.
Give the album about a week, allow it to marinate - if you liked Gregory porter give this album a listen.
Let me know what you think. Remember don't dismiss it after a single listen let it soak in.......

I wouldn't bother with Igor Presnyakov when I can enjoy talents such as
legal hi-res downloads. He is a street player yet he has multiple albums available. However, Estas doesn't play covers of Gangnam Style on youtube like Igor. He may not be your thing Thompson.
