A wonderful ,very talented guy

Spectacular discussion near the end of this interview about how bassists and drummers relate to "the beat." Many other highlights. His observations about Dexter Gordon are especially perceptive. As a jazz sound engineer resident in jazz clubs, I worked with Rufus around Chicago before he moved to NY. I appreciated his personal warmth then, and throughout his career, his musicality.
