tranemonk Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Is there a good list of Black jazz musicians who left the US for a long time and where they moved to? I've been intrigued by this since I learned about Don Byas. I think I know some of the more obvious, like Nina Simone and (I think) Dexter Gordon. I also listened to the radio and an Alvin Queen tune came up. I didn't know much about him (other than his new release on Cellar ) but the DJ said he moved to Switzerland (I think). I'm curious if anyone has generated a list. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) It would be a long list: Art Farmer, Horace Parlan, Johnny Griffin, Ben Webster, Kenny Drew and Oscar Pettiford are among the many who moved to Europe. Sir Charles Thompson moved to Japan. Edited 1 hour ago by Ken Dryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
