Milestones Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago I thought about this famous photo after the death of Benny Golson. So I have a simple question: Other than Sonny Rollins, is there anyone in the photo who is still alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Time flies. There were still dozens of them alive, when I was a teenager. But now I regret I didn´t listen to those, whom I had considered "oldies" in those days (Basie, Ellington, Goodman, Buddy Rich..... and so on). I had started only with what was THEN called "modern jazz" including free jazz and rock jazz, that means from Bird to the then super nova electric Miles....
