“It seemed he lived many lives, he was child prodigy, famous jazz star, then a down and out drug addict, only to be reborn like a lotus flower out of the thick muddy sludge to make another series of incredible records and concerts through the the late sixties. He did it all before he was shot dead by his common-law wife in a club where he was performing at the age of 33. Slugs Saloon in NYC.
“My favorite album of his is The Procrastinator, but they are all great, check out Cornbread and The Sidewinder. Let it flow through you, and we will be connected.
