Bernard Stollman, founder of ESP-Disk', age 85 — R.I.P.

The source of the image(s) above is the ESP-Disk' Facebook page, which notes that a memorial service
for Bernard Stollman will be held in NYC next month—details to follow.

And here's the text of a JazzTimes article. Unfortunately, it misspelled the record label's name, which
contains a hyphen as well as an apostrophe. Edit: I left a comment to that effect; within minutes, the
comment was deleted and the spelling was corrected.






In my small record collection, way back when, were at least a couple of ESP-Disk' LPs.
R.I.P.

This NYT obit is much better (as one might have expected), but it's really too long and heavily formatted
to be reproduced here. It gives a warts-and-all account of Bernard Stollman and his dealings with the musicians
on his record label.

(It omits the apostrophe at the end of the label's name.)
