Ja I almost saw him perform in 2015 or 2016 (for free) but he had to cancel because of health issues.

Number 7 on the freak fighter top 40

Glad he had a long life and obviously very grateful for what he contributed world culture

To this day there’s a constant flow of great new music that never would have existed if he hadn’t paved the way

The free jazz collective blog is definitely the place I would want to read the first of many eulogies I’m sure to read about it

Thanks Frown

Fuuuuuuuck.

No one will ever rock shades and a turtleneck the same way again.

Not that I expected any different but no mention on the TV nightly news that the greatest remaining jazz man passed away. It’s odd that a country so obsessed with patriotism shows such little regard for its own culture.

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.
