I hate to disappoint you Frogman, but the Art Blakey story is a sad one and I've had my fill of sad stories. I think I'll even switch genres today, how about some "World Music".
How about "Jai Uttall", what a name; although he grew up in New York City (you might have known him Frogman) Indian music touched him at 17, and he moved to California where he studied under the famous Sarod player, Ali Akbar Khan. He later began regular pilgrimages to India, living among the Bauls; they're wandering street musicians.
He became deeply absorbed in the practice of kirtan, the ancient yoga of chanting, or singing to God. This form of prayer became the core to Uttal’s musical and spiritual life.
I have this CD "Beggars and Saints" of his that appeals to me. Here's "Be With You", it speaks of long lost love, the kind one never forgets.
