I met AJ in the early 90s gigging with Pat. He would come out and sit in with us. I did a recording with AJ also. I also have a new CD out next week — “Charles David Stuart Trio Live with Duffy King, James Simonson & Mark Byerly”.

This was recorded at Memphis Smoke BET 2004 & 2007. There is a tune on the CD called “AJ” dedicated to him (an extended drum solo).

PEACE ALWAYS,

CHARLES DAVID STUART
