Emil was not only a great player he was a beautiful human being. I had the pleasure to work for him in the late 80’s and early 90’s and learned a ton just by watching him work.
I came to know of Emil though his vibes method books and recordings. This recording, done with Quincy Jones, is one of my favorites. RIP Mr. Richards! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiZDP9mQ6YA
