Ken Dryden Posted January 4, 2024 Report Posted January 4, 2024 I loved his recordings and his excellent autobiography. Somewhere I have his appearance on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz. I missed an opportunity to see him in our city with Dwike Mitchell, which I have long regretted. Quote

sidewinder Posted January 4, 2024 Report Posted January 4, 2024 Sad news - RIP. I remember him mainly for his section playing on the Miles/Gil albums but also for those 60s/70s Mitchell/Ruff Duo recordings. Quote
