I know it got press coverage and whatever and maybe it was on the PBS News Hour. I don’t know why these things disappoint me still.
I was expecting a marathon on my local jazz station (they did one for Ornette), but they've only played two Cecil tracks since he's passed. Pretty disgraceful honestly.
