Notes from Allen Wood, Jr.
(I've moved this here from the main page (where it was posted earlier today), because it doesn't have any WP:RS, but it might be of interest.) EddieHugh (talk) 17:58, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

The traditional end of the Greenwood Arts Festival activities, held from the late 1960s through the mid 1980s, was a Jazz Festival which featured outstanding performers from the throughout the South,. They were usually held outdoors with musicians performing from a late-19th century gazebo. As a teenager, Miller would sit in with the groups. The following conversation is from Allen Wood's Personnel Comments included with the Delta Jazz Collection recordings. Note: Tommy Ferguson, a very accomplished classical and jazz pianist, was head of the music department at Memphis State University (now University of Memphis). He was performing that day as part of the Jazz Festival. The following illustrates the serendipitous turns in life.

The 1972 Jazz Festival matinee concert was indoors at the W.M. Whittington Playhouse. There were matinee and night performances. Polly and Henry Flautt had a brunch before the matinee, and Tommy (Ferguson) was riding with me to their house. When we arrived, there was a young man playing a piano which had been placed under a tree in the front yard. Exchange:

Tommy, immediately upon arrival: "Damn, who is that kid playing piano"? Allen: "Mulgrew Miller. He’s a junior or senior in high school; he sits in with us occasionally." Tommy: "How about introducing me to him;" whereupon we went over and I introduced them. After a few minutes, I left them and joined the other guests. After a short while, he rejoined me, and I asked "Well, how did it go"? Tommy: "Great!  I just offered him a full four year scholarship, and he accepted!!"

Mulgrew went to Memphis State, studied under Tommy, and left school after three years to join Mercer Ellington, who had taken over his brother’s band. To use that hackneyed phrase again, “the rest is history.”
