Fred’s partner Scott shared his side of the story with such grace and kindness, amid interruptions due to barking sounds. Production note: next interview, double check whether or not there is a dog park in the vicinity.

Last night, we filmed Fred and critic Gary Giddins at the Jazz Legends series held at CUNY Graduate Center. Fred shared some fun memories of playing in the 70′s in NY, interrupted by thunder and a hailstorm hitting the skylights. It will make for an interesting soundtrack!
