Erroll was Autistic at a time when the condition was not recognised. He had Savant piano playing skills. Glenn Gould and David Helfgott (remember the movie "Shine") also had Autism.

Beautiful!! I never hear trumpet players on this tune ... I know McCoy was famously accompanied by Joe Henderson, I'd love to hear what that would sound like.
