Playing around or serious rehearsal? You decide!
These guys obviously love what they did. And you could hear it in their music.
Some of Kai's later appearances and gigs:
In Ezshwan's own words: "Kai played in the Sammy Davis, Jr. band the week that it was being taped from Puerta Vallarta in 1976. We had a great time there and participated in Sammy's 50th birthday. He was a warm, generous man. Richard Pryor is in the foreground."
Kai was starring in a Paris Jazz club when this photo was taken by Ezshwan. The two men he is talking to welcomed Kai and Ezshwan in Toyko at Kai's last appearance with J.J. Johnson.
