    Like a spring shower - all comes alive and is blooming in moments. To end as suddenly as it began. This audience in Prague were listening to something very, very special - and they knew it. There are simple ideas in these 37 minutes or so of such depth - melodic and rythmic - which are virtually the definition of music as a social experience. From loud city type music to spiritual longing - from brash youthful outbursts to displays of real expertise and creativity.

In 1974, him and drummer Butch Miles made part of rhythm section of the great Count Basie Orchestra. I was listening this beautiful music while reading credits, when my ears told me there was someone missing!
