Are people already familiar with this video (and the other videos) on the Portal to Texas History website?

I was at this clinic. I was going to North Texas at the time. Elvin played a few tunes with the students as well. I wonder why they weren't included. Perhaps there were clearance issues or something. The sax player at the end was John Schroeder. Any excellent sax player. I don't know what happened to him but all we thought he was one of the most promising players at school and destined to great things. Craig Handy, who was also a student at the time, also sat in at some point during this clinic. There were a number of these clinics. Joe Henderson was among one of the more memorable ones.....

I also recall Sam Rivers, Roy Haynes, and Gary Burton. Maybe not in the same series, but the same type of deal. Also Gary Foster, Clare Fischer  and Dizzy Gillespie.
