7/4

An important bit of jazz history has left us. I like what Jim Alfredson said on FB: "A master has left us. RIP McCoy Tyner. There is jazz piano before McCoy and jazz piano after McCoy."

It was called Other Music.

sad

One of my first ECM albums was Watercolors (1977), also his first Pat Metheny album. A huge impact from an album rarely mentioned. Usually folks mention the white PMG album. "a recurring illness" might explain why he retired from music and the road early, a lesson in impermanence for us all.

I feel old, thanks for remembering!

He showed up on my microtonal radar, all my friends in LA knew him. RIP

Makes twitter interesting!

I think D Holland is always off to something else since the big band. Uncharted Territories with Evan Parker was real good.

awful. George Crumb's daughter Ann passed away a few days ago too.

take care, John Shelton.

I did for years...all gone now. I grew up in North Brunswick.

City Lights in New Brunswick, NJ? I used to drop in there quite a bit. I must have bought something there, maybe an Epiphone Granada.

probably not in 10-15 years. I use my phone.

Family needs money, bad!

Snakeoil and his own albums. .
