chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 so this cat has really come full circle- im very proud of him. he deserves all that he is getting into nowdays w/ music and the jazz scene! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 I was just listening to Henry on Sonny Meets Hawk! the other day and his playing was phenomenal. Sometimes it takes a reminder. Digging on the new trio w/ Paul Dunmall & Andrew Cyrille, though I have to admit the crowd noise on the Porter release is a little overwhelming... must've been a hell of a gig! Hope all goes well at Vision for those in attendance and those lucky enough to perform. Quote
Enterprise Server Posted June 3, 2009 Report Posted June 3, 2009 The Vision Fest line up looks awesome. Wish I could be there...... Quote
