    Old school, one finger guy. Big contribution. Sorry to hear of his passing, but ashamed to say I thought he was long gone already. Good to hear he lived a long life.

    Heard about it a few days ago.
    Don't forget his work in the classic Desmond/Hall quartet.

    Time Out was meant as a a quietly exploratory work. Nobody 'planned' for it to become what it did.

    Picture the A&R meeting:

    'Alright, gentlemen, next we have an instrumental LP of odd-meter improvisations from a black & white, Jewish & Christian band. Radio stations are lining up to play the tune in 5/4 with the two-minute drum solo from the blind guy. This one is going to make us money -- it's definitely going to hit #2 on the Billboard album charts and we're projecting sales well in excess of two million copies all told.'
