Playing on 6th Ave NYC w Dave Douglas and Kermit Driscoll in 1984.

This pic was taken by Brazilian Drummer Herique Calvante.

We hadn't met yet!!!

He was on tour w Alseo Valenca at the age if 15!

I was waiting tables that night at SOB's night club. Their sound check was mind blowing!

I went up to say hello and He went nuts! He spoke no English.

After the gig, I took him to my drum studio and we played tell the sun came up.

I'm writing a short story about it w all the details.

Only in NYC.
