Grimes Times! September & October 2004

"The return of Henry Grimes was remarkable because so many musicians fall by the wayside and are never heard from again. The world needs these musicians. Yes, the world needs every good creative spirit to make his or her contribution immediately. The rest is history: friends, students, a bass, practice. Henry Grimes returns, proceeds to jump back into this river of music, he is splashing in it, rolling in the flow of sound, with a joy that is now! not yesterday. The cry is I'm happy to be alive and I love music and I want to play as much as I can."

~ William Parker
