The man certainly doesn't show signs of slowing down. 
I saw this in the newsletter I got emailed, where it also mentioned they were working on both a new CD and DVD for RTF IV. I'm assuming both will consist of live material, though a studio album with that lineup would be rather interesting.

| I saw these a little while ago. I wish that some of these shows would go on tour. I hate the Blue Note, it's an uncomfortable tourist trap. |
