RIP. Fabulous musician and a wonderful champion of Herbie Nichols.

the one pic I have of us performing together, in Rhode Island, in the 1990s.

Great pic Allen. I was just reading this piece by Frances Davis about Roswell Rudd's Catskill days and it ended with this postscript: "The New York Art Quartet reunion never happened, and Rudd eventually lost his job at the Granit. The good news is that he’s been working with the tenor saxophonist Allen Low (sic)."

Does anyone know Rudd's solo Horo 'The Definitive'? I'm thinking of tracking down a copy. Discogs suggests he plays several instruments, are they solo or multitracked?

Any impressions received with interest and thanks

 Rudd plays trombone, piano, bass, drums, percussion and sings on two tracks. Multitracked. Some tunes work better than others. If you really like him, it's a worthy purchase.

I like it a lot. I remember the drumming being kind of clumsy, but there's not much of it.
