"Rarely has a legend been so brilliantly (re)incarnated as in the case of Henry Grimes. The master jazz bassist, who performed with Sonny Rollins, Pharaoh Sanders, Cecil Taylor, Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, Charles Mingus, and Thelonious Monk in the 1960s, returned to the jazz world in 2003 after a thirty-year absence. His return to the spotlight of New York clubs was the jazz event of the year and was soon followed by extended tours through the U.S., Canada and Europe.
After disappearing without a trace in 1968, Henry Grimes never touched a bass for decades, although he wrote almost constantly, signs along the road presents his selection of previously unpublished entries from thousands of pages of his diaries."
