I was missing in action…again. Just returned from 10 days in New York (cold, yes, but got out just before it turned really ugly-frigid) where I spent much time back at the Schomburg going through more of Luther Henderson’s files. I also spent some time with Mrs. H. and shot some very brief video snippets at their home for my People On The Page project. Now I’m back, warmed up so to speak, and playing catch-up with messages and mail. In addition to the three books in progress (don’t forget John’s At the Feet of a Jazz Master), I’ve got a file folder full of notes to myself about blog topics so I had best get to work.
