In 1998, he came out of retirement to play on the Afro-Cuban All Stars album with World Circuit, which later asked him to make a solo debut.

Die wenigen davon auf Platten gepressten gelten als Kult. Welche davon die beste ist, darüber gibt es wahrscheinlich schon Diplomarbeiten an amerikanischen Colleges.
