from the jazz-research list: "I have just received the AMAZING news that Henry Grimes, the exceptional musician who played with just about everyone from Benny Goodman to Cecil Taylor, from Gerry Mulligan to Albert Ayler, and is even in that small group of bassists who worked with Mingus, well...he is alive! Reported as having died in 1984, in recent days Grimes has been in contact with his onetime collaborator Perry Robinson, I'm told. Certainly not to be a Doubting Thomas or anything, but as with all such resurrections and second comings, of course, I will research further and report back." ---GC

Graham: Yes please keep us informed. If he wants to talk Henry could probably have some interesting stories about his life and times, which include playing with Sonny Rollins in the band with Paul Bley or Don Cherry. Hm, guess whoever wrote the tunes "In Search of Henry Grimes" will have to retitle it. Ken Waxman --- Hannah McRoag <connah@earthlink.net> wrote: > from the jazz-research list:
