Fascinating interview, although it was all I could do to keep him on the Cannonball Freeway - he kept taking exits to talk about Clifford Brown, Clark Terry, Charlie Parker, and others he's worked with over the years. How does one restrict such a gigantic figure to one subject? Tough but rewarding.
