Description

GH: and I learned from them. You learn from your peers. I got to play with one great drummer named JC Herd. He was (FB: Indeed. Yeah I remember that name.) with Count Basie. (FB: He recorded with Randy Westin, a bunch of people.) He put together an organ trio. Organ, drums and trumpet. Ok? And we used to play Count Basie charts. Arrangments. The organ player would play and you know I would play lead over the organ. And he would play all the drum fills just off the record. So it was like a mini mini big band. Organ and trumpet and drums. But people loved it and he was a real showman and such a nice guy.

FB: Was there some rivetting moment in your teenage years where you all of a sudden said damn I'm gonna be a trumpet player or was there never any doubt from the time you were 6 or 7?
