Very cool. I didn't know about this!

Yes. Michael revealed to me some info that was previously unknown, and Peter Cook quoted a few of these bits in his book on Blue Note and actually credited my interview (in the footnotes). I had found just the right questions to ask to get him really flowing with info. He was a pleasure to talk to. When I typed up the interview from the recording for his review, at his request, he replied "That is EXACTLY what we said. Proceed." I did this for a little e-magazine called "Doobop." I saved a copy but somehow after that disappeared a few years later AAJ gobbled it up. Not sure how that was accomplished . . . they sure didn't consult me. 

It was quite an interesting interview, and I only wish that I could have chronicled the the forty minutes or so we conversed after the interview closed.
