Henry Grimes and William Parker, both primarily bassists, share a deep brotherhood in the music. When William was a young teenager, he heard and never forgot Henry Grimes playing bass in a bowling alley in the Bronx, as well as on many cherished records. When Henry in his later years was without a bass to play, William sent him one so Henry could return with his musical gifts to us all. Let us rejoice!
