Elias' latest - "Sticks and Stones" - keeps in touch with "now" but holds well with the "old school" respect for air, space, and the process of building melody from harmony and rhythm

Yes. Very good stuff. I listened to all of the music from the first link (the second link was just the same music).
It is very cool the interweaving of the bass, piano and guitar. In a way it reminds me of old George Winston stuff with accompaniment.
On the other hand, I found myself wanting about four gin & tonics lined up for me to get smashed on.

Sounds like Windham Hill. No comment on his abilities but I didn't like it. More of a Doc Watson, Tony Rice kind of guy.
