It's unfortunate that the entertainment industry, music in particular, is awash in drugs. Who knows what a lot of these musicians might have come up with if they hadn't died young?

This is a previously unreleased version of Art's tune, Lost Life. Eventually it'll be released on the Unreleased Art series on Widow's Taste Records.

I am reading his book right now. It's great so far. This is awesome and so is his music.

Superlative music, Art was a true champ!But what is the name of the song that playsthroughout this clip? Is it on any of his albums, or was this just a performance piece?Does anyone out there know?!

This is the way to create a jazz portrait. We are fortunate that Art was such a talker -- few players are -- and word painter to boot.
