I can never say too much about the kindness of Charlie. I met him in 1968 in Chicago when he was playing for Billy Ekstein. I went to breakfast with charlie, the bass player and pianist. What an honor.
Charlie Persip was always one of the best small group and big band drummers of the post bop and hard bop era. I especially liked his work with Dizzy' big band of the mid fifties.
Beautiful, hilarious story.I love Charli-----a jazz survivor,great storyteller,and one hell of a drummer!

This is fantastic - it explains one of the Monk's most baffling recorded solos!
I love persip. he's so funny and modest despite his enormous talent. a great story-teller. I bet he could write a great book!
He did : )
Persip... one of my fathers!!! Love him :-)
LOVE it!
