I never worked in the Brass Fantasy Group with Lester, but I did some of his gigs with the Brooklyn Philharmonic.
I met Don on his first swing through Philadelphia. It was so long ago that I was still living at home with Mom and Dad. We played a bit, talked a bit and wandered around South Philly. Philly had two major jazz clubs at Broad and South Street, and the union had a bar that was open till the crack of dawn. it was a fun place in the early 60s.
