One of the classics by Chick is "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs." If you (or anybody else) happen to be into vinyl, the Blue Note Tone Poet pressing of this record is excellent. Just last week I was watching a recent YouTube video of Chick explaining how he loved Roy Haynes's ride cymbal on that record so much that Roy gave it to him. He's had many of the subsequent drummers in his bands play that same cymbal. Chick was playing drums in the video and seemed to be so completely full of energy and life. I was stunned by the news of his death because he seemed to like somebody who had another 20 years ahead of him.
