I wrote notes on a Houdinis album for Challenge, can it be almost 20 years ago?
I'm trying to get in touch with Angelo and cannot find a web address. Can you tell me or pass this note to him? I'll be in Amsterdam for the jazz conference next month, and I'd like to see him. Michael Bourne, Down Beat and WBGO.org
