This is beautiful and sad, knowing how short his time would be. Despite the rather clumsy intrusions of the crew, Austin plays two remarkable gems.

Thanks for watching. This is raw footage from filming my documentary Being in the World. Hence the intrusions.

It is unbearable to think of all the uniquely gifted musicians we lost way too early, especially in jazz. How far could he have gone?

There really were no limits. Austin was one-of-a-kind.
