Meade speaks fondly of growing up musically in the time of Duke Ellington. Nat Cole. Pat Patrick. Louis Armstrong. Clark Terry- and many other pioneers and innovators of the day. He has been a lifelong friend and confidant to many of the jazz legends and innovators, and has traveled extensively with jazz giants such as Ed Thigpen. Ray Brown. Oscar Peterson. Milt Jackson. Cedar Walton, the Heath Brothers. Art Farmer, and Ella Fitzgerald to name a few. "At one time jazz was the popular music" he says. A friend and mentor to many, as well as a great jazz historian, Donald “Papa” Meade passed away on May 22, 2015. Donald's spirit and dreams live on through those friends, mentees and the recipients of the Donald Meade Griot Award. -- RIP my friend Ron Polte - manager of Quicksilver, Ace of Cups, Wild West Fest - Jon Hammond (my band opened for Copperhead on one of the very few live gigs they played in 1972 at The Longbranch Saloon) Tam Junction and Piatti Mill Valley Restaurant - Breakfast with Ron, rest in peace Ron Polte - Jon Hammond : *Note: We had a lot of fun in the old days at 759 Harrison Street San Francisco when we shared rehearsal space with The Quicksilver Messenger Service at Bruce Hatch's San Francisco Radical Laboratories aka SF Rad Lab in years 1968 / 1969 (not to be confused with radiation lab folks!

This was very nearly the biggest Rock Music Festival that almost happened - it was very close. I went to many meetings with Ron Polte and a lot of very heavy San Francisco Rock bands were down to play the "Wild West Festival" (1969) Posters were already made up, we had meetings in the Zoetrope building now owned by Francis Ford Coppola and The Straight Theatre on Haight Street - Ron Polte was part owner of Straight Theatre in addition to being the manager of Quicksilver Messenger Service, Ace of Cups and for a time Sons of Champlin as well. I highly recommend watching and listening to this very rare footage of the press conference with Big Daddy Tom Donahue speaking about the project - Jon Hammond Band photo by Jon Hammond - breakfast with Ron I just saw Ron'
