OliverM Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Gérard Terronès, founder of the Futura and Marge labels has died today according to various french media. Libération has already released an article here : http://next.liberation.fr/musique/2017/03/17/gerard-terrones-un-libertaire-du-jazz-s-en-va_1556421 The man with the hat still organized monthly concerts at the Java club, a historic club where Edith Piaf used to sing. I remember a memorable afternoon and evening of free concerts there for Jacques Thollot's passing. He was a long-time member of the Anarchist Federation and signed his letters "Fraternité". Certainly a singular personality in this milieu. I tip my hat to him! Edited March 17, 2017 by OliverM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
