Milestones Posted December 13, 2015 Report Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) I know there have been too many this past year (past few years really), but what can you do? At least nowadays most jazz musicians die at a ripe old age, and at one time we were losing a lot of them at ridiculously young ages (think Bird, Trane, Brownie, Dolphy, Booker Little, Booker Ervin--and that's just a start). I'm a big fan of a lot of guys who are up around 85 to 90+, so you know they don't have much longer for this earth. Edited December 13, 2015 by Milestones Quote
clifford_thornton Posted December 13, 2015 Report Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Bassist Noah Young (née Richard Youngstein) is not on the Schrick list. He died on Nov. 9th at 71. Edited December 13, 2015 by clifford_thornton Quote
David Ayers Posted December 14, 2015 Report Posted December 14, 2015 Gunther Schuller. A Proms concert this summer conducted by his student Oliver Knussen and meant to celebrate his 90th year became a memorial. They played his Seven Studies on Themes of Paul Klee. I hope some other of his compositions get revisited in concert soon. Quote
