Lisle Atkinson: 1940-2019

I found out recently that unsung bassist Lisle Atkinson passed away on March 25th. I'm familiar with him through his excellent work with Richard Wyands, Norman Simmons and Frank Strozier, but he also recorded with Horace Parlan, Nina Simone and Betty Carter, among many others.  It's a shame that his death wasn't widely reported at the time.  

Thank you for the music, Mr. Atkinson, and rest in peace.
