He certainly fell off the radar. He lives in Arizona, does about 25-30 dates
a year and is no longer signed to a “major”. (Blue Note)
At one point he was one of just a few people in the world that was allowed
to go back and forth from the Carson Show to the Letterman show, he was headlining
the biggest jazz festivals and concerts in the world and was one of the top
selling Jazz artists in the world. After “Blind Date”, he had opportunities
to do other movies, but never did.
He is still quite brilliant and anyone that hasn’t been to a live SJ concert
should make an effort to do so. He was never able to catch the full electricity
he achieves live, on record.
The You Tube clip is from a good DVD:

I should call him.

He should make a live record - why don't you propose it to him. It's
hard work to be a successful jazz artist, and doing 25-30 shows a year
ain't gonna get it done unless you're a whole lot more famous than SJ. I
hope he makes a comeback.
