That's too bad. Alvin Fielder told me he was a real fan of Frank's playing, and that perked my ears up.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, sonnymax.   Streaming now.  That's one helluva band, and I'm really digging it.   

R.I.P.

For the short time Mobley lived in Chicago, he used Frank and Muhal in his band.
