by a beautiful human. It’s such an emotional composition, and this arrangement is especially moving, I think. Very glad it helped you have a nice dinner.

I've always been partial to flute and the person playing is super good.
Don was a fine, very distinctive piano player. He was from the Monk school; like me.
Died way too young.
He was also really good on the Hammond B-3.

Excellent woodwind player.

Funny you mention Pullen on the B-3. Just today I saw a great video of him on Hammond with John Scofield and Marvin “Smitty” Smith! I had not heard his organ playing, but it’s top notch, as you already know.
