Kenny Weir - RIP

[Jim Alfredson]

Kenny stopped posting here in 2018 but he was a valued member of this forum for 15 years. I just saw on FB that he passed away yesterday. I do not have any more details.

Wow...he played Quartet Out on the air in Australia. Wondering what had become of him...

RIP and big thanks.

Sad news. In the early 2000s I recall Kenny and I exchanging CDs from the Australian and Scottish jazz scene. As I recall he sent far more my way than I was able to reciprocate. He was a great presence here. RIP

Very sorry to hear this. I always appreciated Kenny's contributions to this forum.
