relyles Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 The OGJB quartet with Graham Haynes, Joe Fonda and Barry Altschul also made some interesting music. I was able to hear them live several times and the music was never less than provocative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Ah wow, glad I got to see them a number of times over the years. I can't be in the city this weekend but I'm sure it will be a great send off. I guess at least there's the webcast (a la Phish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Damn - I was hoping to get to see them one more time. They were fun to see/hear live. But then again, Lake is 79, Workman is 84 & Cyrille is 82, so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppy T. Frog Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 He’s being honored at the Vision Festival but not playing an instrument. Does anyone know if there is a reason for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I'm only guessing here, but he is going to be 80 in September. He might not be able to play like he wants to these days so he may have decided to retire from playing. I plan to be retired well before I am 79.

Milestones Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Most jazz musicians don't retire until they're dead or physically can't play a solo longer than 20 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
