A truly engaging, insightful, lovely man and oh my god, what a font of knowledge about jazz.
I mean, what do you do when you're part of a big band and you've forgotten your guitar and you're sitting in front of about a 2000 person strong audience? If you've ever passed out at work, well you're not alone. Also, the youth of today are getting an inspirational, down to earth, passionate and grounded guide on their journey. Like he said, the music is the journey.

Taken from Wikipaedia:

Toubkal or Tubkal is a mountain peak in southwestern Morocco, located in the Toubkal National Park. At 4,167 metres (13,671 ft), it is the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains, Morocco, and North Africa. Located 63 km (39 mi) south of the city of Marrakesh, and visible from it, Toubkal is an ultra prominent peak, the highest for over 2,000 km (1,200 mi). For climbers it is "the most popular mountain objective in the Atlas mountains".
