I believe Robert Levin is still around.

Doesn't seem to show up here anymore.

Did others write about and praise Jimmy Lyons during his lifetime? He seems difficult to discover these days. A shame he isn't better known.

I remember an article about Lyons in a 1965 or 1966 issue of Jazz Magazine, the French review.

There also was an interview of him (by Bob Rusch) in the October 1978 of Cadence.

I did praise Jimmy Lyons when he came to Paris with the Cecil Taylor Unit in 1966

I still have his autograph!

I almost want to book a trip to Paris just to meet you Brownie. I'm entirely serious. I'd have wife and baby with me, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
