The Gildo Mahones Interview

i just loved hearing Gildo sharing his stories. have been a fan of his for many decades.
must add that the chicken and waffles place in NYC was Wells (Roscoe’s is in L.A.). that was actually where i first saw Sonny Rollins.
funny story about Prez calling out his own names for the tunes. what challenging times Gildo experienced.
loved hearing Gildo talk about Ozzie Cadena, whose wife Gloria still carries for her late husband in booking Sunday matinees at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach.
Gildo is obviously a treasure and so are you, Jake! next time i’d like to hear him talk about working with Lorez Alexandria. thank you so much for another great interview.
