The Quiet Revolutionary (for J.G.)

a postscript to the excerpt I posted here about Jimmy Giuffre:

Our longest run of work was a European tour of close to three weeks; I think the approval we found there caused the music to advance considerably. Shortly after our return to New York, we began a residency in a coffee house on Bleecker Street, playing for whatever money was collected at the door. We disbanded on a night we each made 35 cents.
