I believe PM said they had discussed working again but nothing more, I guess due to his illness. As for his recent recordings, From this Place is terrific-his best recording in a while. The hr download is very dynamic.
Also a good review in today's Washington Post but let's be honest, his drug use exacerbated his other health issues. He was so terribly thin the one time I saw him that it was no surprise to read of his arrest. Sadly, another drug casualty.
We saw Kenny Barron in bucolic Mt. Gretna PA on the 20th. He was in excellent form despite some sound issues. He was accompanied by a Japanese bassist and Jonathan Blake on percussion. Frankly, I would have rather seen a solo performance given how well he was playing. Nice to see live jazz again.

I love Dexter but that man had some issues. I remember seeing him at a club and between breaks (not set but instrument) he would leave the bandstand, go to the bar and chug a couple of beers then return for his break without missing a beat. This was early 80s I think.
