RIP

RIP Charlie Haden. Don't know why but I'm thinking; is there any Jazz enthusiast that doesn't own at least 1 record with Charlie on it? I also wasn't aware of his age, guess I always thought of him as a younger man. The warmth & tone quality that came out of his bass was always remarkable to me...

from Tina Pelikan, ECM Records Publicity: It is with deep sorrow that we announce that Charlie Haden, born August 6, 1937 in Shenandoah, Iowa, passed away today at 10:11 Pacific time in Los Angeles after a prolonged illness. Ruth Cameron, his wife of 30 years, and his children Josh Haden, Tanya Hade...

Thanks, and well done, Mike.

The drummer/percussionist Matt Wilson, who has been so generous with me any time he was asked to do something related to a radio request. Truly a humble person with so much talent and a HUGE sense of humor. He's suffering right now. His wife passed away last week after a 4 year battle with leukemia...

In son JC's band there a bunch of nice guys and Claire Daly, Warren Smith and Julian Prestley stand out. Other nice guys I have known that immediately come to mind are Tommy Newsom. Phantom Ross Tompkins, Joe LaBarbara and Bob Cooper. LDB was usually pretty nice to me. Claire is a wonderful person....

another DG fan....met he and the uber-talented boys on a trip to Cali.

Always stepped up to a radio appearance each time he was asked.

Sonny Rollins; Tarrytown, NY early 90's

George Coleman; Stanford, CA

Ornette; SF Jazz Festival

I have only 2, since these were so clearly far ahead of everything else by far.

Freddie Hubbard [70's and 80's] and Woody Shaw late 70's

One that I sorely would have loved to have seen.

Coltrane was gone a couple of years before before I started taking in live shows.

I've been blessed to have met many. I'll chime in later.
