Eric was a guest on my radio program last summer when he was in Montreal to play in the acoustic blues series at the Montreal Jazz Festival. A very nice guy in addition to being an excellent musician and performer.

Eric did indeed grow up in New York and has lived in Sweden for many years. He does tour in North America fairly regularly.

He is the son of singer Leon Bibb and his uncle (his mother's brother) was jazz composer and pianist John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet.
