In 1996, Gordon Parks photographed survivors who were still alive showing where they were in 1958 for A Great Day In Harlem..Only 2 survive today: Benny Golson and Sonny Rollins (Sonny Rollins is missing in the 1996 photo. He was standing behind Marian McPartland in 1958 but not in 1996.)
It's telling, that Helen Merrill felt ready going back to her roots @ Croatia only at this point of career (the following album "Lilac Wine" should be her last) .... Steve Lacy never disappoints, but the album concept as a whole is touching ....
Unbelievable how Emil Gilels was "at home" with various composers .... this recital @ Salzburger Festspiele on August 9th, 1976 was no exception .... highly recommended ....
