never really got into this guy till he died I suppose and took more notice.

Pieces of a Man is a fabulous album.

part of the soundtrack to my childhood, being a hippy kid of the 70’s and all that.

fond memories of a great sound and someone who actually had something to say.

Pieces of a man in superb, ’John Coltrane and Lady Day’ being my favourite..

I love this one:
