bertrand Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Just don't tell him he's a jazz musician. And whatever you do, don't bring up the 'Fritz Jones' thing! Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 i cant wait to read this- i can understand if he doesnt wanna be labeled as jazz, as he is so diverse in his talents. he is a multi-talented great black man who really opened up the world to his music, and it is a treat he has written an autobiography for us to read and learn.

You mean the 'Bill Evans' thing? William/Yusef Fritz/Ahmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 William/Yusef Fritz/Ahmad My grandfather on my mother's side was named William Fritz. He died when I was seven, but if he had lived long enough, I could have started calling him Yusef Ahmad. And then I would be the dead one.
