On Sunday 5/13/12, I decided to drive down to Tuscaloosa, AL for a performance by the Alvin Fielder Houston Quartet, the latest group put together by my friend and mentor Alvin Fielder, the incredible Mississippi jazz drummer. The drive down involved some occasional rain, and when I arrived in Northport, I found that there was a Wintzell’s Oyster House there, so I decided to have dinner there before the show, and  it was a good choice. Not only is the food great, but the view of the Black Warrior River and downtown Tuscaloosa is beautiful.
