Henry Grimes celebrated his 75th Birthday with a month of concerts at The Stone in NYC. The night of his birthday he was accompanied by Kidd Jordan, the legendary New Orleans saxophonist, in 2 "beyond description" sets of music.
Beautiful playing, beautifully recorded and filmed! This is an exceedingly rare treat. Henry refers to "Let My People Go" in the arco section of his gorgeous solo. In his bowing you can hear his Juilliard training. Wish the young ones were playing with half as much vitality and invention and passion as these two 75-year-olds, Henry Grimes and Kidd Jordan!
