...Gato, with comments about Herb, in an article in this week's ejazznews.com.
“I’ve been friends with Herb for many years, but it was Jason who called him to work on this album,” says Gato. “Herb was very happy to participate, and said that I still play beautifully. I returned the compliment. He knew of all my health problems in recent years, but said that time seemed to stand still for me. We talked about all the musicians we admired who faded away or died young, and it was great to realize we were both still doing what we loved, as active in the business as ever.”
