Jaco pastorius!

gosh, imagine meeting so many big names.   I always had a soft spot for Mr H Hancock.  What was he like to meet? 

Herbie Hancock is very nice and humble like most of the famous Jazz musicians - they are such great artists and they have always a word for you and take time for signing and photos. I met Herbie Hancock twice and it was a great pleasure, he signs 6 or 7 albums  and some with dedication- I like this because I don't want to sell, I do it as a fan and for my personal collection.

Very difficult to get is Keith Jarrett, from what I heard is, that he don't sign at all or occasionally.

Yesterday I met our "Mother of Punk" Nina Hagen. She is one of the nicest persons that I met for autographs, she signs several albums for me, I had a little talk - and I was not the only one, 20 or 30 people waited for her after the show...great.

forgot Eric Dolphy.

I would add : Chick Webb, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Fats Waller, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Goodman, Count Basie

Oscar Peterson

Dave Brubeck

Nina Simone

Dizzy Gillespie

Maynard Ferguson

Milt Jackson

Nat Cole

Ella Fitzgerald

George Benson

Coleman Hawkins

I would add Art Blakey Jr.
