I was very fortunate to get to play a duet with the legendary saxophonist Elton Dean as a short intermission piece between our two sets at Progman Cometh. Our Mellotron Mk VI needed to have its tape-frame changed before the second set. So while the stage crew and my brother Greg scurried to do that, Elton lent his amazing intuitive musical ability to a song of mine entitled "Miles, Monk and Mom". I added Elton's name to the other musical giants in the title as a way of thanking him for his great intuitive playing. It's now referred to as "Miles, Monk Elton and Mom". And no, my mom wasn't a musical giant just a giant jazz and big band fan who's record collection I'm sure influenced my brother and I when we were growing up.
