In Memoriam 2024: The Musicians We Lost

[soulpope]

A year of heavy losses ....

[Peter Friedman]

A very lengthy list, but I was only familiar with a very small percentage of them.

I would estimate that there were only about 15 jazz musicians and maybe 7 or 8 classical musicians on the list.

Another person whom German members might know: Dr. Ulrich Ohlshausen, one of Germany's best journalists in radio. His broadcasts were essential in my jazz education.

My name is not on the list, so all's well.

OTOH. my name not being on the list does in no way mean I'm not dead, so maybe all's not well?

I ate a McRib about an hour ago, so I'm not assuming anything either way.

Thanks for this really comprehensive list. One that was news to me is Mario "Machito Jr." Grillo. Saw him directing his father's band in Frankfurt. Great Timbalero really leading the orchestra and playing the second bongo bell when the bongocero was missing.
