Bill ... no doubt you did the right thing for YOU, because YOU feel you did the right thing ... It is too bad you didn't have a group of guys who were 'on the same page' as you as far as the quality of the music was concerned ... best of luck with the duo/single gigs ... I am sure you will be satisfied musically ...
If:
1) I could get back with the same guys I played with for 26 years - not possible, unfortunately one has passed away;
2) we could play music in 'our' style and be accepted;
3) clients were willing to pay;
I would go back in a New York minute ... there is NOTHING, I say NOTHING, that beats making music with "friends", having a GREAT time, and getting PAID FOR IT ... JMHO!!!
