[78-L] Me 'n' Q

[Cary Ginell]

He was impressed when I told him my birthday was the same as Martin Luther King's (he had asked me what sign I was). He has Dizzy's trumpet and a flute that once belonged to Cannonball mounted over his bar.

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.
