To expand on the JT obit just a little, he was on both Cox BN LPs, not just the one.

RIP.

What other albums is he represented on? Besides the two Cox BN's, of course.

Working on a piece on Arthur Doyle recently, I was reminded of the fact that Mr. Doyle played with Henderson and Cox in Detroit in the late '60s.

Jack Graham, one of the saxophonists on Sunny Murray - ESP 1032, was apparently the Hendersons' cousin and died rather young (smack).

Forgot about the Strata date, but that compilation album is completely new to me. Anybody heard it? plenty of interesting people there.
