thanks, would love to see the article - I recall he lived on Riverside Drive, I went to talk to him about the project he recorded for us - we were "Live" at the Knitting Factory - got there to do the recording and Mike Dorf, who had promised us plenty of setup time, had decided to rent out the room for a party - I was freaking out, but David got in there afterwards, and set the whole thing up in about 20 minutes and did a brilliant job (had Julius Hemphill on the date, came out as a CD a few months later) - incredible work - also, and I always remembered this, he was the only engineer I ever worked with who knew how to use compression on a jazz date - it was quite transparent, beautifully done.
one thing I remember - he told me that night that he had made numerous recordings during the Civil Right era, of events, people, songs, etc - that had not, as I recall, ever come out - do you know what has happened to this material?
