brownie Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 Boris Yelstin was listed! What did he ever do for jazz? Some who did something for jazz: Whitney Balliett Kurt Mohr Hans Nagel Heyer Marcel Romano Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 Kurt Mohr? I didn't know about him! Very sorry to see him go. MG Quote
brownie Posted December 16, 2007 Report Posted December 16, 2007 Kurt Mohr? I didn't know about him! Very sorry to see him go. MG Kurt Mohr died several weeks ago. Met Kurt shortly after his arrival in Paris from Switzerland when I was still in high school. He was living in my neighborhood. Very knowledgeable and friendly gentleman who kept his youthful enthusiasm until the end! Quote

Christiern Posted December 20, 2007 Report Posted December 20, 2007 The last train to Vermont hasn't left the station--let's hope there are no more passengers departing the music scene. Quote
eeegor Posted December 20, 2007 Report Posted December 20, 2007 and Richard Cook ! Richard Cook's 'Jazz Encyclopedia' never strays far from my bed-side table. Easily one of the best reference guides that exists on jazz. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted December 20, 2007 Report Posted December 20, 2007 Joel Dorn did some producing of jazz artists like Yusef Lateef and Byard Lancaster... Richard Cook's BN biography is a nice read. Quote
rpklich Posted December 21, 2007 Report Posted December 21, 2007 Generoso "Tojo" Jiminez The most important and influential trombonist Cuba has produced. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted December 25, 2007 Author Report Posted December 25, 2007 ...And of course, we must add Oscar Peterson to this list. Quote
