I'd love to be able to listen to the recordings you have in the background of this video. Are they available anywhere?

Nice vid. But Ryan being 'one of the very few who have ventured into playing jazz'? That's a little off. One of the many would be more appropriate. Think of Béla Flack, Alan Munde etc.. Never the less, Ryan is indeed a very talented banjo player who has taken jazz to the next level.

Well, to be fair, 3 is "a few." ; ) We could definitely add Pat Cloud. I'm sure there are others -- any come to your mind?
