Hardbopjazz Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) The first one that comes to mine is Johnny Griffin- AKA the Little Giant. Who else was there? Edited December 17, 2008 by Hardbopjazz Quote
B. Goren. Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Neal Hefti Ozzie Cadena Gone but not forgotten. Quote
J.A.W. Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Paul Newman The question is who left us in the jazz community. Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Paul Newman The question is who left us in the jazz community. The fact that he was in a movie scored by THEE GREAT KENYON HOPKINS earns him a higher place in the jazz community than some folks who are labeled jazz musicians. IMHO. Quote

Aggie87 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Jeff Healey, though granted he was more of a rock/bluesy musician (his last 3 albums were apparently jazz or at least jazzy). Edited December 17, 2008 by Aggie87 Quote

B. Goren. Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Frank Morgan iirc, Frank Morgan died in December 2007. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Time flies, I know. Quote

Cyril Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Frank Morgan Frank Morgan died on December 14, 2007, not in 2008. You're right... Quote
Aggie87 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Esbjorn Svensson Leroy Jenkins Jimmy Giuffre Phil Urso Leroy Jenkins died on February 24, 2007, not in 2008. Please get your facts straight. Yeah, Leroy Jenkins, Frank Morgan, and Paul Newman don't deserve our recognition according to the important criteria of this thread! Well, we already had a thread for those who left us in 2007, which mentions both Jenkins and Morgan. Edited December 17, 2008 by Aggie87 Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Posted December 17, 2008 Hopefully we will spin some of their music and they will never leave us. Quote
porcy62 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 About the topic I would add Davy Graham, who covered lot's of jazz tune in his playing, and he could really 'swing'. Quote
