After the Marc Ribot Trio concert in Szeged, Hungary on November 5th, 2O11, Henry Grimes was presented with this plaque from the Mayor, along with a beautiful silver medal. Henry was deeply moved and thrilled! And he received an extended standing ovation from the audience. For those who don't know (and we're sorry to say we didn't before now), Szeged is a fabulous city, deep in history, glorious in culture, magnificent in architecture, and the people are just wonderful. Go there if you can!
