Update #7: This just in from Margaret Grimes, Henry's wife!!!
In 2OO3, after more than 35 years away, Henry Grimes made a sensational comeback. He has since played concerts in 24 countries, recording, touring, and playing music with the likes of Rashied Ali, Marshall Allen, Fred Anderson, Bill Dixon, Dave Douglas, Andrew Lamb, "Kidd" Jordan, David Murray, Marc Ribot, and Cecil Taylor. At the age of 7O, Henry also took up a second instrument, the violin, and is now a published author with a selection of his poems entitled "Signs Along the Road."
