  3. I was surprised to be able to reach him by phone a few years ago. He was very humble about his achievements. Peace to him and all. Merry Christmas.

  4. A giant, probably the last one.
    One of the great innovators, with Roland Kirk and Sun Ra.
    A door opener, a mind opener.
    Rest in Peace Brother and eternal gratitude for your beautiful music.
