Long live the Hydra!!!!

This is actually an inside joke from my younger days that nobody is going to get but that's okay. The Hydra was a cartoon character (yes THE Hydra) drawn by a friend of mine who is now a famous trombone player on the New York Scene. His name is David Gibson and his website can be found here.

I'm not surprised to see Greek themes prevalent in his "Path to Delphi" CD just released. It's totally awesome. And to think I actually played bass trombone sitting next to this fellow at one time in my life. Very humbling. Maybe one day he'll be in KC touring or I'll have the chance to go back to the Big Apple and see him perform.

Here's a review on allaboutjazz.com for "Path to Delphi"

Dude, if I picked up my horn now I would sound like SHIT. No dancing around that statement. There it is.
