I saw them live decades ago and was blown away. It felt very spiritual. I had kind of forgotten about them/him for a long time until recently. I've been listening a lot lately and can't understand why he doesn't get much more attention and praise. They are planning a 50th anniversary tour and I'm hoping they end up stopping here in Boston. Why don't they get the same love Charles Lloyd does, with his "spiritual jazz?"
