Buried in New York

[Hardbopjazz]

Tonight there will be a jazz concert performed by the JALC orchestra at the Woodlawn Cemetery, to celebrate the 150 anniversary of the cemetery. The concert will be held within a short distance of where Duke Ellington is at rest.

We once had a discussion this. I couldn’t locate that old thread. Anyway, those that I am aware of resting here are

Duke,

Pops,

Miles,

Jack McClean,

Cootie Williams,

Max Roach.

Who else is resting here from the world of Jazz.
