I agree completely. Four years ago I began serious piano study. I am sidelined momentarily by Carpal Tunnel of my left hand. Working it out, getting it treated. My piano mentor was the late Jessica Williams. She was remarkable!

I was Famoudou Don's first drum mentor. We were living in Detroit near The Artist's Workshop in 67 and 68. My drums were set up in the Workshop and that's where I practiced. I met Jarman, Roscoe, Lester et all. It was a crazy time. I was a kid.

I miss the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Nothing like that today. Times have changed. It's a different world. You were there for the best of it, Arthur.

I guess I was. It seemed so humble yet ambitious. A great group of people. I think I played with Joseph Jarman once. I absolutely loved his sound. I know I played with pianist Burton Green in concert. God, I could barely manage the drums.

It always better to play with people who are more advanced.
