Larry McKenna, a new inspiration of mine. His time is obviously near to an end... I will follow this man to his final moments. He plays masterfully and elegantly.

Great rendition of a Classic .

There may be hundreds of great players like this, lurking in the backgrounds of cities all over the USA. Perhaps they had no urge to become famous. Yet, their music is filled with beauty and expression. I might also say that Trane got us off-Track, with his extreme intensity and speed. It is so good to hear vibrato again.
