@CameronDevlin No such thing as "greatest" artist, musician, or anything creative. That presupposes some kind of competition. I attended Michael's seminars, and he didn't think that way. He was as good as they get, but "greatest" is a matter of taste.
@pretorious700 All this is true, and yet I'm still happy to refer to him as the all time greatest. All statements are inherently opinions, this is mine.
Thank you for posting this. The best always die young, almost without exception. It's sad that Mike couldn't be one of those rare deviants from that norm :(
@imaginarytube OMG!!! I didn't even know about this last recording... I'm ashamed to say. Thank you so much for posting this video. What an inspiration.
@cweeks3665 Pick it up. As someone who has listened to hundreds and hundreds of jazz records, I can tell you that it really, really smokes from start to finish. A very fitting farewell.
Great tune and nice thoughts as well.
