Just wanted to thank you for your gracious comments on my blog. I perform the poem to Sidewinder with a live band and when I've a decent enough recording I will let you hear it. Meanwhile I am also interested in the untimely demise of tenor player Wardell Gray, who was found dead in the desert outside Las Vegas.
Bless you for your interest and support.

IS THERE AN AUDIO RECORDING OF THIS INTERVIEW AVAILABLE? IF SO HOW CAN YOU GET ONE.ARE THERE ANY PHOTOS OF HELEN MORE?AS A ETHNOMUSICOLOGIST THIS IS INTERESTING RESEARCH INTO JAZZ LIFESTYLES.
Greetings stemtec! Yes there are audio recordings available. Would you like details? Larry Reni Thomas
I would like details!
Thanks to you as well for your comment, mr. Thomas. I really appreciate your making the article available online, it was very interesting reading. I have long wondered about the circumstances surrounding Lee's death, and your interview with Helen certainly helped shed some light on that. I took the liberty of using your article as one of three sources in my amateur investigation into Lee's murder, presented on my Swedish jazz blog. I hope you didn't mind.
As for the date of the incident, the 9th is actually what it says in the Google docs version of the article, but as I also wrote on my blog, that's probably just at typo.
(I'm sure you know the correct date if anybody.)
And yes, I think we all agree that Lee Morgan's death was a terrible tragedy and a great loss; however, only one of many in the history of jazz.
Sincerely,
