Hardbopjazz Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Here's an interview with Christian McBride on Toots and Bobby Hutcherson's passing. http://www.npr.org/2016/12/02/504137669/as-2016-winds-down-remembering-the-jazz-giants-we-lost?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nprmusic&utm_term=music&utm_content=202802 As always too many check out. I probably missed some that were reported here. The passing of Bobby Hutcherson's was a big loss for me. I have just about all his recordings and seen him over a dozen times. Mose Allison was another that left us. Bob Cranshaw too passed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
