I always found an analogy between Marco's playing to Jimmy Lyons  in 
the way that Eric Dolphy's playing related to Charlie Parker's. Clearly 
rooted in the earlier musician, taking some of the implications and 
extending them while simultaneously giving them an individualistic 
twist. In a way,  a traditionalist approach and an interest in a 
perceived continuum.

I remember one time after a rehearsal with Marco and Glenn, Marco left 
and Glenn and I sat listening to records (!); Glenn put on a Jimmy 
Lyons disc to play me some of the tunes we had been working on. The 
minute Lyons started soloing, we smiled at each other. Glenn said "Now 
you know where Marco's coming from. . . "

Sorry to have missed the gig, a migraine put me out of commission most 
of the weekend. . . Is Marco still in town?
