And I came to the Vanguard that night, and when I got out of the cab there was a line up the block, almost around the corner to 11th Street. What is this? I had to squeeze through the people to get in. And that's the way it was for the first number of weeks, every Monday night it was packed, like people were just looking for someplace to go and something different to see. And that was it. And we used to make enough money that one Monday night that Max was able to open up the club all week long, whereas the Village Gate was closed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and they were having things on the weekend only. Max opened his club up all week long because of the money that was made by Thad and Mel on those Monday nights. I stayed with the band for about three months of Monday nights at the Vanguard. And then we had a situation in the band where you weren't supposed to take off. And nobody would take off, okay? They had a record date? They'd give it to someone else because this was Monday night. Well I had a conflict and I went to Mel, because he was in charge of that part of it or something. And I told him, listen Mel, I have to take off for about five weeks because I'm going to Europe, I'm going to Japan and I'm working with Herbie Mann. And he didn't want me to take off. I said well wait a minute. So I wound up quitting. I had to quit. And Thad didn't know anything about that for a long time. He didn't know why I had left. And I worked with the band a number of times after that, but just that sitting in stuff. So on leaving the band, that's why I'm not on any of the recordings, the first recordings that were made.
