Long article, so I'm excerpting. Saw Charlie with Joe Henderson and Al Foster at the Caravan of Dreams in Ft. Worth in 1986.
I won't say RIP, 'cause he's gonna be up there jammin' with the boys.

Not the gig I saw them at, but you get the idea.

I enjoy his music even if he was a hardcore leftist.

He and Scot LaFaro were close friends. I’ve just finished reading “Jade Visions,” the biography written by Scotty’s sister. It’s one of the better jazz biographies and has a lot of descriptions of his gigs and sessions. Highly recommended.
