Snooky just turned 87 3 weeks ago. His hearing is pretty much gone, he gave a lecture, answered questions and had someone repeat all the questions to him into his ear because, well... his hearing is pretty much gone.
Didn't stop him from playing through. He sounds great for an 87 year old man with his hearing gone. Still lots of taste, soul and power. Still is hitting high Eb's. It was really cool to get to see a real true Jazz legend... the greatest and most influencial lead trumpet in the music's history.
