As always too many check out. I probably missed some that were reported here. The passing of Bobby Hutcherson's was a big loss for me. I have just about all his recordings and seen him over a dozen times. 

 

Mose Allison was another that left us. 

 

 

Bob Cranshaw too passed away.

Damn. I missed a chance to hear him when I was in London a few years ago.
