Jim Alfredson Posted November 23, 2006 Report Posted November 23, 2006 But as the years went on, and more sidemen and leaders grew ill or fell out of fashion, few of the music's admirers here or around the world were aware of the barren last years of these musicians. Jazz musicians do not have pensions, and very few have medical plans or other resources. While the sentiment is fantastic, the same can be said for most musicians, not just jazz musicians. I'm not trying to downplay the foundation, but just stating a fact. Quote
