Mark Stryker Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Apparently, the longtime jazz writer Don Heckman (and saxophonist) died more than year ago at age 89, though it's only now been confirmed. https://news.jazzjournalists.org/2022/01/rip-don-heckman-belatedly/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Friedman Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 I met Don Heckman many years ago in Detroit when he came for a weekend jazz festival. It must have been about 1965 or 1966.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Taylor Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Damn, I always seem to be the last to hear such news. Don was briefly married to my favorite cousin, Mary Gay Taylor, and I remember wonderful visits when they lived in Greenwich Village. A nice and well informed jazz man and it was a delight to talk with him as I grew up in New Hope surrounded by a lot of jazz performers and fans.
