I have many fond memories of spending time with and around Butch Morris as well as his brother Wilbur, particularly in the early eighties when he conducted the David Murray Big Band. He was an innovative conductor and really nice guy. May he rest in peace.

Chico and Rita - Every lover of Afro-Cuban music or jazz must see this film. It is set in the reality of the birth of Latin Jazz with the real pioneers of the music playing their music. Chico is in real life the father of the great pianist Chucho Valdez. This is not to be missed. It is on Netflix but any jazz or Latin lover will want this film in their collection.
