First night, the place was chock full before even one note was played. I was with my friend/drummer Eddie Moore. All drummers from the Bay area were there who could make it, including Tony Williams, who was sitting at he bar at the far end of the club. Moore introduced me to him and he almost brushed me off by saying 'So..?'For me Tony Williams was the greatest thing that had happened to jazz after Elvin Jones having almost every album he had played on. Three days into every set Max Roach played we were standing outside the Korner, Moore, Eddie Henderson and Julien Priester..and Tony Walked into the conversation. I was introduced to him again. He said he'd noticed me all three nights, all three sets and invited me home.. even played a bit of drums!!!!!! That was a dream come true and remains one of my most memorable jazz momentsNavroze Contractorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177809642290283670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853772569125614798.post-20335044428989539102021-01-03T15:01:12.216-08:002021-01-03T15:01:12.216-08:00Well, alright.Well, alright.Nameskharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629197949742533857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853772569125614798.post-48259764846314381032017-11-24T04:15:24.991-08:002017-11-24T04:15:24.991-08:00A wonderful interview with a very intelligent, sen...A wonderful interview with a very intelligent, sensitive, introspective man.
