My nephew called me today and informed me that the great Roy Hargrove had passed this morning. We toured the world together with the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. Musically, he was as creative a creative gets. I miss you already, Roy...may you find peace in transition.

I am Anthony-charles: Bey© Mr. Hampton wasn't just a great trombonist, composer and arranger...he was a kind and giving man. A man who would give you the shirt off his back and more. I can count on one hand those in the jazz "family" who actually showed Slide respect and honor.

Happy-fathers-day Slide, just want to thank for sharing your wisdom, kindness, respect, and love with me, for being the father I never had. You've empowered me to accomplish what at least one man would say "can't do that in jazz" I say to that man...watch me - anthony-charles:bey
