It is honor that my father named me after him. Although this video does his earlier playing no justice. I am glad I was able to meet him in person before he passed.

This breaks my heart...for those of us who knew what he was 50 years earlier...

This genius of the piano never got his full due. I always loved Phineas, one of the many unique giants from memphis along with George Coleman, Harold Mabern, Jamil Nasser and Frank Strozier. All giants, in my humble opinion.
