I came across this while looking for some info on the BotC sessions.

His "improvisational memoir", The Parisian Jazz Chronicles is a good read. He had an interesting life, and also writes about some amazing musicians he interviewed as a journalist - people like Chet Baker, Bob Dylan, and of course Miles Davis. Some great quotes in there.

Sounds like something I can add to my next Amazon order.

EZLee- he’s been missed since 2010 :)
