Great vibes player - big fan of 'Understanding' and 'The Haunt'.
Never realised he and Andy Serkis would have been dead ringers for each other in their younger days.

Was this the one with the clip with Mtume that was passed around a lot on social media recently after his death?
Are you thinking of the Stanley Crouch 'debate'?

This is quite an ODD way to describe his activities in those days - to say the least ...
He was leading his own big band when Cohn and Sims were still section men.
Etc.
96 was a long run. Thanks for the music. RIP.
As a leader, am only really familiar with his version of 'Elevation' - will try to dig in to those! Definitely more than just 'the guy who dig the music for Network', for sure.

The pianist and composer Elliot Lawrence died earlier this month. He appeared on a couple Zoot Sims/Al Cohn records in the 50s before pivoting to what I assume must have been more lucrative work. Have always enjoyed the record, 'Happy Over Hoagy'

Word from the Chicago Sun Times is Bob Koester has passed away. An absolute giant. Perusing the Jazz Record Mart during my teenage and uni years were such formative experiences. Can't imagine life without the music I stumbled across - purely through his efforts.
-
Word from his half-sister is Buddy Deppenschmidt has passed away. Appeared a number of Charlie Byrd records, including "Desafinado".

He must have been the last musician alive besides Roy Haynes to have played with Lester Young. Turns out I have quite a lot of his early sides with Pres, Jug, and others. Will have to give them a listen again.
René Urtreger's still around as well, I think

very interesting and under-appreciated musician and man
