Zoot Sims 'In Paris' (UA Japan)

After the Michigan funeral home confirmed his death, the main news organizations finally announced Donald Byrd's death. Some of the obituaries today: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/12/arts/music/donald-byrd-renegade-jazz-trumpeter-dies-at-80.html?_r=0 http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/donald-byrd-jazz-trumpeter-dies-at-80/2013/02/11/add73d4a-721a-11e2-8b8d-e0b59a1b8e2a_story.html http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-donald-byrd-20130212,0,1752286.story

Fats Waller 'Complete Recorded Works', vol. 2 (JSP)

They're not faster, they usually just do not stick to the same standards of news reporting. French newspapers and websites also have plenty of stories on Byrd passing. All quoting his nephew! The main news agencies need an official word (usually a press release or a direct witness) to go with the story. I understand that several have tried to call the family but could not get a confirmation So to repeat myself... what's going on with the Byrd family?

Andrew Cyrille/Jeanne Lee/Jimmy Lyons 'Nuba' (BlackSaint)

Wonder what's the real reason behind the withholding of an official announcement of the death of Donald Byrd! So far the only word of the sad news comes from Donald's nephew Alex Bugnon via the Amoeba.music.com website. A week later, none of the regular channels (AP, Reuters, AFP, New York Times, Washington Post et al) have been able to report the news. They all need an official word to go ahead. What's going on with Byrd's family?
