Thanks Ethan for mentioning the Ron McClure book. I was in touch with Ron and bought the book yesterday. I told him how much my friends and I loved 'Lookout Farm' and Quest. Got a lovely note back from him and am really looking forward to reading Ron's accounts of his career and collaborations.
Not familiar with Kush Abadey, but Thomas Morgan is one of those players who make any project better. Saw him perform for the first time San Antonio 2017 with Charles Lloyd and Bill Frisell, another musician who makes every project better. That concert became the first of Charles’ Trio of Trios recordings on Blue Note. Wish I were able to hear this group. It’s been a minute since I’ve seen you in performance. Good luck.
