January
1984 and I am preparing to go on a United States Information Service
(USIS) tour that will take me to India, Syria, Sudan, Egypt and Morocco.
India was an incredible experience and for sure, one that I will never
forget. As a member of the Woody Shaw Quintet, we visited and performed
in such cities as Bombay, New Delhi, Calcutta, Madras and Bangalore.
We won the "Silver Cup" as best jazz group that year and tragically
Indira Ghandhi was assassinated. In Syria we performed in Aleppo and
Damascus.
