[NewMusic] So long

[Phillip Greenlief]

thanks for posting all of this stuff for freddie. i agree, he made some questionable decisions in his career, but he also worked his butt off developing a pretty unique voice on his instrument, and his contributions on many albums are essential...too many to list here.

i saw him a few times at keystone...don't remember any korean commentary though...

peace,
pg
