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.
