Baur SEPT. 18, 1972 Also present: RBA Dblck: RBA RBA asks about a point raised previously by DA concerning the phenomenon of a person changing according to tIie changing phases of the moon. RBA asks if there wasn't someone in DA's band who was like that. DA says it was Geechee [JamesJ Robinson. RBA asks if he is still alive » DA doesn't "know but assumesthat * he is . After GR left DA"s band, he joined Fletcher [Hendersonl's. He was always "a fickle fallow," always wanting to be on the go. [Cf. Walter C. Alien, Hendersonia, on GR] DA guesses that he just kept running; GR wasn't one to correspond much. RBA asks what GR would do when the moon changed. DA explains tliat that was just the band's way of putting it/ a ^S.tfe joke they shared. His attitude would cliange like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. He would go from being friendly to arguing with anyone in the band. For this reason, the members sometimes avoided him. RBA asks if he became argumentative wlien the moon was full. DA says they didn't notice at the time. RBA mentions that people do seem susceptible to mood swings due to factors like the time of day. DA says that's the way GR was--at a certai^ time of the month he would automa- tically change* RBA asks if DA knew the members of the Jay McShann Band * Not well, DA answers; he knew a few of them, and remembers when fn.e- singer Al Hibbler went with McShann.

His new what went on there, but whatever it was, it had a profound sound and radical approach to improvisation, in the context impact on the saxophonist.
