James Spaulding: Places were starting to close up… I was working at  The Blue Coronet when Dr. King was killed that evening [‘68] and the news spread all over  Brooklyn. I was working with  Freddie [Hubbard’s] band and I really didn't feel like playing any kind of music after Dr. King was killed. In '69 there were a lot of clubs starting to shut down, and then we moved out to New Jersey with my wife and my kids. Everything was starting to dry up in the 70s in  Brooklyn.
