Description
Contemporary Jazz Quintet: The Black Hole (CJQ) Vinyl 2LP
“The most important thing about that group, which was together for a solid seven years, was that we weren’t all necessarily socially compatible. But we were all committed to that music. We enjoyed playing together so much that we were actually breaking the curfew during the riots to go back-and-forth to Ann Arbor to play at the town bar. We were running the risk of being shot or incarcerated just so we could play together.” – Kenny Cox
