"This wizard never slept, and played extraordinary jazz bass and piano, from dusk till dawn. Every night, his friends came to play with him." - Paul de Barros, Seattle Times.

An exceptionally talented and eccentric figure in the Seattle jazz scene, bassist and club owner Jerry Heldman passed away in 2013, but left an indelible mark on a generation of artists who found their way to his fabled Llahngaelhyn Coffee House in the '60s. Larry Coryell, David Friesen, and Ralph Towner were a few who would jam until the wee hours with visiting artists such as Chick Corea, Roland Kirk, & McCoy Tyner, creating a legendary and influential jazz workshop. For Revelation(s), bassist David Friesen compiled tapes from live recordings of Morning Star, his quartet with Heldman in the early '70s, as a tribute to a singular musician and friend.
