chmochka

i'm surprised to hear that, i've been very disappointed seeing him the last few times, i guess he had a stroke and now all he's got going for him is the left hand.. it was sorta like watching oscar near the end.. i got to see some great mccoy back in '98 at the vanguard, it was a special night, impulse was releasing the trane vanguard recordings and i was sitting right next to al foster's ride cymbal.. but the best ever show was a couple years later at yoshi's with kenny garrett and they basically recreated the whole "real mccoy" album, kenny looked as giddy as a school girl.. it was a fucking dream come true really.. the only other show that comes close would be the oakland/paramount theater gig he did with rahsaan, freddie, ron and elvin.. 'nuff said
