It was a blast playing with John again – - it was like the Four Peace Freedom Band with Roy Haynes on drums!

Al is such a sweet hearted man. I love his rapport with the audience. He loves them and they love him – - his band is killin’!! I sat in on “Summertime” and “Spain” – a moment to be fondly remembered for a long time!
