Henry Grimes to play again this weekend

[Late]

I have to post this because I like this image so much. I wish a poster was available!

Henry's right under Sonny Simmons on the top right, I believe.

Reading much of this thread for the first time today, I have but one thought...

Quick, somebody find Tyrone Washington!!!

(Wishful thinking, I know.)

I'm pretty sure Tyrone Washington is around in Newark, not playing though.

Tom Price is from Massachusetts and attended Berklee (to hook up with that jazz education thread) in the early 1960s. He studied for a number of years with Alan Dawson. He was in the Army in Panama with Perry Robinson and Bill Folwell, the original Uni Trio. They developed their incredible free ensemble concept there, playing on the banks of the Canal. More about that in Perry's book "The Traveler." Then he lived in NYC sharing an apartment with Perry and Henry. He's been involved in education (both music and otherwise) for many years, but still gigged in the NJ area. I last heard him play when the Uni Trio reunited at a book party for Perry almost a year ago.

I did a long interview with him when I wrote the Grimes article for Signal To Noise. I haven't transcribed the whole thing, but maybe I'll do a little webpage on him so the world can learn. The CD I have of "The Call" says basically, "nothing is known about Tom Price except the recordings he made for ESP."

Dig his playing on "The Call" - he's phenomenal.
