sheldonm Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 Not sure if I've shared these photographed I made of the great bassist Henry Grimes while I was in NYC in early May. These were taken outside Henry's home. Spent part of the day with Henry and his partner Margaret Davis....very memorable experience. After making these images, we took a bus up to the Apollo Theater to see "A Great Night in Harlem" fundraiser.... m~ Quote

sheldonm Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Posted September 17, 2006 Great shots. His story still blows me away. He must be the happiest guy on earth again. ...not only happy but the most humble man you may meet. For everything he's gone through and to come out of it the way he has is inspiring. I have had several conversations with Henry over the past couple years, the guy is a gentle soul....more should be like him. Despite all that has happened to Henry over the past few decades, you would never know it to speak with him....and his music is amazing!!! m~ Quote
paul secor Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 He does look happy in these photos, and that's a great and amazing thing after all he's been through. Quote

Everything you say about him is true. The greatest comeback story in the history of jazz? Quite possibly. Quote
sheldonm Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) uh... i don't wanna spoil anyone's perception... likewise, i hope henry IS as happy as ya'll believe him to be from appearance, performance, etc... however, do ya'll also know how medicated he is, & how much of his past life is lost to recollection? i am glad henry seems to be well but i'm very reluctant to ascribe any ethical qualities or 'lessons' to the looks of things. c c, I don't know how medicated Henry is nor is it any of my (or anyone's) business how anyone is medicated (but I take toprol for high BP if it's a concern) and not what this thread is about. Are you asking a question (about his medication/memory or insinuating there is any issue)?? Having know Henry for a few years, I find him to be very engaging in conversation and fascinating to speak with. That said, If I had gone though what Henry has gone through, I'm not sure I'd be really interested in discussing it with everyone. If Henry has forgotten things from this part of his past, that may not be a bad thing....but the guy really appears to be at peace with himself and what's going on around him!! Ghost did a nice interview with him down at IU this past year as well, along with a great live performance at a local radio station. My perception of Henry is exactly as I posted above and isn't spoiled by your thoughts but thanks for chiming in. Is was a blast hanging out with Henry/Margaret and I wanted to share the images. m~ edited for spellun' Edited September 18, 2006 by sheldonm Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Thanks for posting these, Mark. I always find myself cranking up the bass on Henry's old ESP's - that thrum is monstrous! Still, I understand Clem's point and also have my own battery of opinions on the whole thing. I'm saving them for the right thread. Quote
ghost of miles Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Clem, I was actually rather nervous when Henry was found. I remember a sense of exhiliration when I read the Signal to Noise interview--HG had long been an obsession of mine, ever since a musician buddy had given me a mix tape that he titled "Henry Grimes, Where Are You?" years & years ago. (I told HG about this, and he thought it was pretty funny.) At the same time, it was clear, from reading that interview, that Henry had found a fragile peace in his existence, and I worried that being thrust back into the modern improv world as a "living legend" might disrupt or destroy whatever equilibrium he had managed to achieve. When he was here at the station last year, though, it really seemed like he was very happy to be playing again... I remember reading the online posts from somebody (Marshall, maybe?) about HG playing that bass that William Parker gave him nonstop in his LA apartment. I know there are varying degrees of opinion about how well Henry plays these days compared to his 1960s level, but to me it's amazing that he put aside the bass for more than 30 years and then could come back the way he has. Did you hear the 100-hour marathon in 2003 on Columbia's station? I heard the interview with him then, and he seemed much more "present," or what have you, when he was here last year. As for the past, yeah, I think he's let a lot of that go, but I think he had to. (A jazz researcher I otherwise respect was fulminating that Henry couldn't remember why a logo was on an instrument from a mid-1960s Impulse session... give me a f*&in' break! I can't account for every day or every moment from five years ago...can't imagine what it's like for someone who's gone through what Henry's gone through.) I did ask Henry at one point during the interview whether or not he ever missed the solitary existence he'd led in L.A... again related to my earlier concern. He dismissed that right away & said there'd been too much "rigamarole," too much tedium in that existence. I think you're right to check any tendency there might be to canonize/valorize Henry, and I've probably had that tendency myself. But I still think it's an incredible comeback story, and that he seems happy--for whatever reason--to be playing music again. (Seems to be working better than Bunk Johnson's erratic, up-and-down comeback.) Hoping I get a chance to see him again. Quote
sal Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Nice photos Mark! When are you gonna post the ones from Joe's birthday, and the Jazz Fest ones? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Wasn't hinting at rumors, just my own opinions... Quote
paul secor Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Reading this thread, I thought about something that Nick Tosches wrote in the liner notes of a Michael Hurley CD. I've disagreed with lots (LOTS) of things that Nick Tosches has written, but not this one: "Let's just shut up, you and me both; let's just shut up and listen and go to where Michael Hurley is. After all, we can always turn around and come back. He can't." I've never met either Michael Hurley or Henry Grimes, and I'm not comparing them in any way except that I enjoy and respect their music. I just think that this quote says something about the relationship of audience to artist, and perhaps has something to add to what's already been said here. Quote
musicmargaret Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Henry Grimes is NOT on any drugs whatsoever. How dare someone who has absolutely no knowledge of the matter suggest such a thing, and when did he stop beating his wife? Also, Henry hardly drinks, though he likes a glass of red wine now and then (or even two), and in the winter he has an occasional fondness for a small cognac. Henry is a very happy man these days, strong, greatly inspired, playing brilliantly. No, he has not forgotten the past, whether he has cared to discuss it with outsiders or not. Yes, when he first came back to the music in late 2OO2 / early 2OO3, upon inquiry there was a lot he honestly could not remember. He was coming out of more than 3O years of deep depression, poverty, and deprivation, and if you can't understand this, you're the one who needs a doctor. Three and a half years later, Henry has come almost all the way back, and so has his memory, so ask him the same questions now and you will get a lot more answers. In fact, Henry just gave a two-hour phone interview to journalist Marc Medwin a couple of days ago, and Marc said anyone who wants to know how it went is welcome to Email him at mmedwin@earthlink.net. For anyone with any doubts about Henry Grimes doing well, kindly check out his upcoming schedule on his Web site, www.henrygrimes.com (click on the "schedule" button), and you will find: Sunday, Oct. 15th, 2-5 p.m: benefit for the Fund for Public Schools, w/ Festival of New Trumpet (FONT) musicians & special guests including Andrew Cyrille/ Dave Douglas/ Henry Grimes/ John Zorn and many more, at St. Marks Church, 131 East 1Oth St., New York City, reception follows in the parish house, 212-674-6377, ext. 1O, www.nycenet.edu/fundforpublicschools, FundforPublicSchools@schools.nyc.gov, www.fontmusic.org, www.stmarkschurch-in-the-bowery.com, stmarkschurch@verizon.net.

Late Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Thanks for the photographs, Mark. Is that the bass (in its down parka) that William Parker gave Grimes? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Hi Margaret. Give our regards to Henry. Quote
musicmargaret Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Yes, that is Henry's beautiful green woman Olive Oil inside her case, so named by William Parker after William refinished her in olive green and some time before he gave her to Henry. You can see a photo of her with the Spaceship on the Runway Quartet in full color at this link: http://www.henrygrimes.com/Photos/hg67_Spa...yHildaDaily.jpg . The little spots you see on Olive Oil are space stickers added by Henry. Quote

chitownjazz Posted October 13, 2006 Report Posted October 13, 2006 I have a concern of a slightly different sort about the discussion here. That is, I'm glad to see Henry's so busy with his music, that he's enjoying himself, and doing well. I also hope that he's getting paid well for all the gigs he's playing and not just scuffling as a free jazz musician instead of scuffling as a janitor or whatever he was during the "lost" years. And maybe making a little extra to make up for all those lost years too!! Quote
