Prime late Jaki Byard with Michael Marcus.

I was at the Regattabar in Cambridge, MA to see Marcus and Byard play as a duet shortly after this disc was issued. The whole of Harvard Square, where the Regattaber is located, lost power, so, for about 45 minutes, Jaki sat out in the lobby chatting with us as we waited for the power to come back on. Eventually, they had to cancel the show.

Jaki was murdered a very short time later.

Ugh.  Awful.  A tragic and mystifying death.

Grant Green "Grantstand" 24 bit by RVG Japanese cd.

Yusef Lateef is one of my favorite tenor saxophonists and flautists--all four of these cats have a great chemistry and make this session MOVE.
