Justin V Posted July 11, 2019 Report Posted July 11, 2019 Guitarist Vic Juris has been diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer and there is a GoFundMe campaign to help him out. Here's wishing him the best. Quote
Dmitry Posted December 27, 2019 Report Posted December 27, 2019 Was looking forward to seeing his trio tomorrow at the Side Door [possibly one of the best jazz clubs in the country right now, imho], but at the last moment his trio is being replaced with Dave Stryker's. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dave-stryker-trio-tickets-82879688379 Wish Vic Juris well!!!

Hardbopjazz Posted December 31, 2019 Report Posted December 31, 2019 RIP Vic Juris . He past away this morning. I will play some of his music. Quote
sgcim Posted January 1, 2020 Report Posted January 1, 2020 Very sad to hear. He was only 66 years old. I caught him live once with Larry Coryell. RIP, Vic. Quote
HutchFan Posted January 1, 2020 Report Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Terrible, terrible news. So sad to hear this. EDIT: Juris obit on WBGO, written by Nate Chinen. Edited January 1, 2020 by HutchFan Quote
Brad Posted January 1, 2020 Report Posted January 1, 2020 Sorry to hear. I wonder if we will ever conquer the scourge of cancer. Quote
Justin V Posted January 1, 2020 Author Report Posted January 1, 2020 There were some positive updates on the campaign a few months ago, so I'd been hoping for the best. Back in the AAJ days, it was nice to have a musician of Vic's caliber interacting with people. Thank you for the music, Vic, and rest in peace. Quote
