GoFundMe Campaign for Vic Juris

[Justin V]

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.

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.

Very sad to hear. He was only 66 years old. I caught him live once with Larry Coryell. RIP, Vic.

Terrible, terrible news.  So sad to hear this.

Sorry to hear. I wonder if we will ever conquer the scourge of cancer.

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.
