What a privilege and honor to have met you. I would love to ask you some questions about playing in Elvin's band with Steve Grossman and Dave Liebman. That's one of my favorite bands of all time. That "Live at the Light House" two disc set is unbelievable. Thank you so much for laying that down.<br>Myron Walden

That’s quite a band!

Hey Gene, Glad you are keeping this music alive! This was one of my favorite recordings as a kid. I heard you with Elvin, Lieb, Frank Foster, and Jan Hammer around 1971 in Hartford, CT. Between Dave and Frank, I was ready to throw my horn in the Connecticut River! Anyway, thanks for the years of great music!

A Bible, this recording. I transcribed so much from this including Elvin that it stands as one of the best chordless dates in history.

I heard the originals on more than one occasion and look forward to hearing the next version. Wonderful!

I think what was done in Hermosa Beach in 1972 is still ahead of our time in 2022.. and this 4some will take New Breed, Sweet Mama and all the rest to 2072...

One of my all time favorite albums. Recorded on Elvin’s 45th birthday.
Our sextet covered one of those tunes in its day 1978.
This is positively outstanding.
