ghost of miles Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Bob Blumenthal just posted this news to a jazz listserv, via a NY Times notice. Glad that so many of McNeill’s albums got reissued in recent years before his passing: Lloyd McNeill R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Oh no, that is sad. I treasure his music, which I only discovered with the initial reissues from SOTU, and wish I knew more about his other artistic endeavours. The reissue programme was a labour of love I think for SOTU and I hope it successfully spread the word so many more appreciate his work.

mikeweil Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 R.I.P. Such sad news. His melodies haunted me after first hearing Asha on AFN Europe. My discography now needs a update in the biographical part ...... https://jazzdiscography.com/lloyd-mcneill-discography/ His own website is really worth a visit and includes an amazing survey of his work. http://lmcneill1.weebly.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
