jeffcrom Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 I love his arrangement on Professor Longhair's "Big Chief," originally released as a two-part single on the Watch label. At the session, supposedly, when the big band came in, Fess was so shocked and overwhelmed that he stopped playing and left the studio; he had to be convinced to return and finish the recording. RIP, Mr. Quezergue. Quote
