It was my privilege and honor to assist Alaadeen with the release of his new jazz improvisation & history manual, "The Rest of the Story" this week. He is a true jazz master worthy of NEA recognition in the highest order!! Book excerpt: "Later in 1968, after Coltrane died, I was told that Miles was looking for me..." It was at this time, Alaadeen had changed his name from Richard White and moved to Chicago.
Aladeen is a great musician and I am proud to call him my former teacher but more importantly my friend. He can do it all. 5 stars always for the Professor!
Wow...unusual beautiful tune, beautiful player with a beautiful sound...a true modernist with conjuing of J Coltrane, Booker Ervin, Monk, Mingus etc....he must be a Kansas City legend and it's too bad that he is not known to a wider audience....5 stars for Alaadeen !!!
OMG this guy is a REAL improvisor. A REAL JAZZ musician. Eddie Harris where are you?
