BruceH Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 This is reminding me of that TCM thing that shows clips of all the actors/screenwriters/directors and other movie people that have passed away in the past year. Interesting, almost salutary, and a total bummer at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Oops... I spoke too soon. David Weiss says in the Freddie Hubbard ICU thread that he's still recovering. I got an email in my inbox this morning that he had passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beat Steve Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Franz Jackson ( 1912 - 2008 ) Uh oh ... another unsung Swing era man. 96 years ... admittedly I had no idea he still was alive. Seems a fitting tribute that photos of Franz in action are now circulating a bit more widely on the net thanks to the Life online photo archives (see related threads, check out the Gjon Mili 1943 jam sessions).

WorldB3 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Walt Dickerson Damn, I didn’t even discover him until this year when I picked up For My Queen; it’s been one of my favorite records to play this year, for some reason I just really connect with it (aside from the Andrew Hill factor who plays beautifully on it). I have also been really digging Vibes In Motion and Life Rays. I didn’t even hear about him passing, the lame thing is that it was probably that I didn’t recognize the name when he did pass because I had yet to know his music. I know post pop, free Jazz vibraphone isn’t exactly something that’s going to be on everybody’s radar but I should have been hip to him a long time ago. RIP Mr. Dickerson.
