| Trios with Evans & LaFaro are part of jazz required listening. A great master has left us. |

| I had the great honor to have known Paul, known him for many changes in the face of jazz and all through the eras of fusion, modern, funk, neo-bebop, all through the changes in the world, Paul was a constant. After news of his passing spread through the bloodstream of his colleagues, the reaction was the same: It was the deepest honor to have known him. An artist of his own highest standards, many times unapproachable by the public, uncompromising and always free, he swung so tightly that he never needed to hit a beat head on. Badal Roy, the Indian drummer who played with Miles did a gig with Paul. We were talking and he couldn't remember Paul's name. He said "Who's that drummer that can't play time?" Oh Paul! "Yeah, that cat could swing!!!" One after hours hang quite a while ago, he was playing several nights running here with Bill Frisell and horn player Jim Pepper. Bill was doing a lot of Monk-ish type tunes at the time and the topic of Monk naturally came up. I asked Paul if he'd ever played with Monk. "Yeah, I was just a kid and Monk was playing the club down the street. The drummer was missing at the last minute and (Charlie Rouse?) points to me and says You're a drummer, right? Want the gig?" Paul said he was out the door before he could answer, running to get his drums. I asked him what it was like playing with Monk and Paul said he was so scared and so high to be playing, he didn't remember anything about the music.
