One of these days I’m going to put you in charge of what I listen to for a couple weeks.

Richie Cole

Not a big fan of his playing,
but I'm happy that he brought some
well-needed attention back to Eddie Jefferson.

The video below has the two of them performing at
the Jazz Showcase in Chicago 41 years ago this week.
Two nights later, Jefferson and Cole walked out of
Baker's Keyboard Lounge in Detroit after a gig.
Jefferson was shot and killed instantly.

Damn. Yet another one taken by Covid-19.

One of my all-time favorite keyboard players and one of my all-time favorite bands.

Glad I got to see The Stranglers perform live at least once, back in the day.

Yeah, that one hurts.
I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about him too.

Also, a few years ago, we went to an exhibition of his father's work.
He was a famous architect who did some amazing stuff.
His most famous design was for the Cologne-Bonn airport.
Strangely, it was that very same airport that Brian Eno was in
when he came up with his idea of Music For Airports.
Maybe it was a boring airport in those days, but every time
I've been there, it's been quite exciting and easy to navigate.
Part of that album was recorded in Cologne as well.
