Interview with Billy Hart

(A major update is in the works, so this 14,000 word interview from 2006 and 2008 has been withdrawn, except for the audio excerpt discussing Lee Morgan.)


EI:  One thing I would love to get on tape is a story you told me on tour.   The story of the day Lee Morgan died.

BH:  Uh-huh.

EI:  It’s an epic tragedy.  Do mind telling it again for the tape?

BH:  Well, I don’t mind telling you what I know…

[The audio file is a little over 11 minutes.]
