I love it! Arthur was something else. The real deal. So why was he pushed to the side, and "shelved" by the musicians who "loved" him? Jealousy? Homophobia? For sure both. Since Arthur was a gay man, I think it had something to do with it. But he was such a powerful force, it makes you wish people were more "evolved." Well they aren't.

I later found out that that was Jeff King's studio.This must have been in 1985 or 86.

I met Arthur in a studio on Willoughby Street downtown Brooklyn.He was playing with Rafik Williamson and they were playing Giant Steps.Arthur had his shirt off and he was killin".I was scared to death ,to say the least.It shook me to the core.I had my guitar and was scared to take it out.I think I played I'll Remember April with Rafik.Incredible.I used to play with his drummer,Colin.

Fantastic. I met him once in Brooklyn at a friends jam session. What a great artist indeed.

I actually hear quite a bit of Hendrix in this. Voodoo Child.

Arthur was an amazing tenor sax player and pianist. I'm a drummer who played w Arthur for two and a half years every day and Steve Coleman sat in with us as did Kenny Garrett. And yes, though Arthur never heard Shawn Lane, he was about the closest thing to Arthur Iv'e heard.

sounds like vernon reid...great

goodness gracious, I've never even heard of this guy, and the drummer and bass player,... I mean, they are just tearing this up and this is from 1978. I mean I'm embarrassed that this is the first time I've ever heard Arthur Rhames. very clean, technically detailed but as raging as possible. This is the way I've always hoped to hear from David Gilmore and Steve Coleman, but they were excelling ofcourse at their own mind bending stuff.

really glad I didn't accidentally go another decade!
