Enjoyed the story. Thanks, Page. Mike is a good guy and a fine pianist.

She seems to have a constant touring schedule. I'm curious who her audience is.

The first Eric Dolphy I heard - great then and still a great one.

This sort of stuff can drive you crazy - well, me anyway.

I can't think of any music I sold or gave away that I'd like to hear now. Once something is gone, it's gone. No regrets.

A side note - her pianist, Michael Kanan, played at Joan's and my wedding.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/24/movies/whos-crazy-an-obscure-avant-garde-film-project-is-reborn.html?ref=arts The article states that: "Mr. White (the producer) showed his film at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival market and at the Cinémathèque Française, but plans to open the movie in London fell through, and Mr. White was unable to get distribution once he returned to the United States in 1968." There evidently was some sort of U.S. distribution, because I saw the film at a theatre in Buffalo, N.Y. in late 1967 or early 1968. I remember that the music was great (including Marianne Faithful's rendition of "Sadness"), but that the film itself didn't make much of an impression on me.

Funny - I recently saw something in the N.Y. Times where his granddaughter (or perhaps great granddaughter) got married. When the article mentioned him, I was surprised that he was still living.

Perhaps somewhat overlooked, but fine Mingus.
