i met him once at brunos in san francisco, he was explaining to the musicians in his band how trane would teach the piano parts to McCoy Tyner..He was playin some wild shit, stuff off ancient ritual..cool dude..
the beauty is that even at 75 he has so much energy that he could play till the end of time .
someone needs to do something so this man gets the recognition and comfort he deserves and be at peace for the next quarter of century he still has to live !
yeah I played the last gig at the Keystone conner in San Francisco with Archie Shepp's group

That trio is exuding one bad ass energy... SS is a legend, of course, but how about some love for that rhythm section? Who pissed off Ronnie? ;)
