Hey Laurie...how are you? Here is my Frank Gambale style improvisation over John Coltrane Impressions...hope you like it...https://www.youtube.comi/watch?v=PYTFellCxEE
Do you know how I might get in touch with the late Hugh Ferguson family and perhaps gain access to Hugh's unreleased material? Even contact for Robert Howland, Hugh's soundman would help. I am looking into perhaps trying to release unheard Hugh Ferguson material somehow. Thanks.
