So very fortunate to see him in SF & Monterey in the 60s, his music was one of a kind great, started listening to him in my freshman year at Monroe/Ballard in the early 50s. He was one of the all time jazz giants, changed the face of jazz more than anyone I can think of. Passed away a day before his 92nd birthday.

saw him and his amazing quartet a few times in the 80's and was awestruck.

although, you've been spotted recently in N.Korea, and should be very careful, those folks are very hungry.
