Two of the greatest who both left us way too young and always gave us fantastic musical expressions! I saw both of them in various venues and they were standouts! I watched Hilton Ruiz when he was with Rahsaan Roland Kirk in his last band which also included Steve Turre on trombone…what a band that I caught at the Village Vanguard! And then Hilton and Steve went on to have amazing careers! Hilton Ruiz put out so many amazing LP albums over the years. Steve Turre is still socking out homers! RIP Hilton & Dave…both to never be forgotten! Incredible amazing video! THanks so much for posting, what a find, a true gold nugget!
