I was hoping for a better homage to the late Lester Bowie from Mr. Cosby, but who knows... apparently he wasn't much in touch with what was going on in modern jazz history...
He always looks so damn clean. Like a musical, soulful dentist or maybe, perhaps kind of like one of them North Korean missile launcher guys in those lab coats. I wonder if they would dig Lester if they weren't commies? But alas, they are... they are commies.

Cosby, you know, has Dizzy's trumpet. I wonder where Lester's horns are?
