A year or so prior to his death, I spent a wonderful afternoon with John Tchicai, who stayed with a neighbour after a weird short gig (at a school nearby, with his longtime friend Giancarlo Nicolai). The neighbour couldn't pick him up and I was happy to oblige. We went for his luggage, got some pastries and then sat in my kitchen and he patiently answered all of the questions I could think up ... fondest memories indeed!
