Greetings Brother Don.
It's a little over 6 years since you sent me a FREE copy of Volume 3,Number 3 of Jazz Improv that featured Jimmy's interview.
Jimmy offered some very insightful and noteworthy points in his June 28,2001 interview with Eric Nemeyer and he must have opened lots of young eyes especially those with bent horns when he said,and I quote:
" If Miles picked up Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet and his mouthpiece and played on it--he would sound like Miles Davis. And that's the essence of being a true,unique,Jazz artist."
