(PI53)
THE Story of bassist Henry Grimes (born in 1935 in Philadelphia) is one of the astonishing enigmas of jazz. He studied violin and tuba at high school, attended the prestigious Juilliard music college and during the late ’50s he performed at the Newport Jazz Festival with both Benny Goodman and Thelonious Monk.
In the ’60s he played and recorded with some of the luminaries of the music: Sonny Rollins, Roland Kirk, McCoy Tyner and became a key figure of the avant-garde on the New York scene, as bassist of the Cecil Taylor Trio and part of Albert Ayler’s groundbreaking ban.
