Twice in the past few years, I noticed that a musician I was hearing at a concert was someone I had not heard live for over thirty years. So when I saw Eddie Gómez in Basel in April 2017, it had been over 32 years since I had seen him in New York in December 1984. And when I saw Al Foster in Basel in May 2018, it had been almost 34 years since I had seen him in San Carlos in June 1984. Today, I'll see Chico Freeman in Basel, and the only other time I saw him was over 32 years ago in the spring of 1989 in Philadelphia. (Andrew Shields, #111words, 22 July 2021)
