Kind of Blue was always on the turntable - Duane really got his head around that album - he also seriously dug Coltrane’s My Favorite Things.” Gregg Allman, recalling their early days, said that “Jaimoe gave us a proper education about jazz and got us into Miles Davis and John Coltrane.

Wycliffe Gordon, celebrated trombonist of Jazz at Lincoln Center fame, is featured soloist on “Don’t Want You No More,” and he wrote the arrangement for “Statesboro Blues.” Gordon is consistently ranked among leading trombone players in the Downbeat critics poll, topping the list at least five times.
