NPR: Meghan Stabile, promoter who united jazz and hip-hop, dead at 39

[Mark Stryker]

This is a heartbreaking story. I never met Meghan Stabile, but I remember reading the NYT's profile referenced in this obituary and thinking at the time that the life described was not sustainable. I don't mean to suggest that I ever considered it would end in suicide, but I recall thinking that she was running so hard toward something (the music and a cause) that she also seemed to be running away from something else. R.I.P.

Awful.. I didn't know about her but I've been seeing tributes from musicians on social media. Just terrible.

RIP, and thanks for making it count while you were here.

Terrible news.  She has been such a positive force for younger jazz musicians and jazz in general.
