Thanks so much, BeBop. That interview is wonderful, but, sadly, only players who have fought the Jazz "fight" can really appreciate it.

I appreciate the fact that you started a new thread to call attention to the deep connection and sense of joy jazz fans and players share. The feelings are so deep. The lives of some of the "giants" were so tragic.
James is a "giant" among "greats".

Jazz, for some of us, is the ultimate art. It changes lives. It's sad that so many people will never see what players and fans see and share.

Thanks, man, for sharing...
