Rest in Peace, John Kelman

[Aggie87]

For those that knew him or knew of him, his partner posted on Facebook that John Kelman passed away this morning, of a massive heart attack.  He was an active music reviewer, mostly on All About Jazz I believe.  

Rest in Peace, John.

RIP, John Kelman!

He was my favorite reviewer at AAJ, back in the day.  I suppose he and I shared similar tastes.

Shocked & saddened to hear this news. R.I.P.

He loved the music.

I remember him mostly for his tireless championing of ECM

I had several online conversations with John when I was involved in AAJ. He was a great writer and often championed British jazz artists such as Ian Carr. I knew he had been in poor health for some years but his sudden passing is a shock. RIP John.
