Bob Koester RIP


Alex Potts

Recommended Posts

Word from the Chicago Sun Times is Bob Koester has passed away. An absolute giant. Perusing the Jazz Record Mart during my teenage and uni years were such formative experiences. Can't imagine life without the music I stumbled across - purely through his efforts.

Spent three weeks in Des Plains doing a hotel gig and went to JRM once a week...probably could have literally lived there for a month and MAYBE have looked at all the inventory.

RIP, to all of it and them. Analog at its truest, these kids today just see the dying gasps and don't know what it means to not know anything but.

Thanks for sharing that remembrance, Chuck.

I know that everyone is full of contradictions, but it sounds like Koester was particularly full of them.

 

I'll be in Chicago next month. Looking forward to visiting to the shop that Bob Jr.'s running now.
