I saw him with Jack Dejohnette many
years ago, in a group that included
Lester Bowie on trumpet and John Abercrombie on guitar. Bowie and
Dejohnette surprised everyone with a duet on those little end-blown
Hohner keyboards (I called them keyharps). Not quite as weird as seeing
Ed Blackwell play a saw solo with Mingus, but still pretty strange stuff.
Gomez, another titan. Man, he was so smooth.
Best,
