I consider Jonathan Scales to be probably the most innovative young jazz panist out there today.
Note that I didn't say best, since there are quite a few great jazz panists around , and it would be almost impossible to select any one - at least for me.
But this San Francisco born , North Carolina resident is extremely talented, and brings a fresh new sound and direction to pan music, and I've been very impressed with his work.
On the subject of "foreigners". arranging for panorama,and the future of steelband music, I cannot help but wonder what a musical mind such as this would do, using a full size, hundred person panorama steelband as a musical canvas to create musical art.
Of course, based on the opinions and sentiments expressed here, I doubt that would ever happen.
Another dimension of the capabilities of panmusic exploration, aforded through the different musical thropes.
