Interview
This is the whole concert I recorded on my VHS back in the day and then transferred to digital. A good part of it was uploaded here on youtube in 10min chunks due to time restrictions under my old alias itsartolie . One for the jazz history books, enjoy.

Horace named the Messengers? I guess I didn't know that.
In any event, Horace would once in a while perform someone else's tune (Joe Henderson, Weldon Irvine) but never (in my knowledge) did he write anything for anybody else. Until now with the very nice (but unsurprising) "Mr. Blakey". A beautiful birthday card to Art from his loving co-conspirator.
