And another one gone...
R.I.P. Elvin Jones.
Dead at 76 from heart failure. I'd heard he was really ill about a month ago, but the reports were sketchy. Unfortunately, they proved to be right. At least he's been reunited with Coltrane and his brother Thad, among the many other jazz legends he knew before.
The music and cultural world has suffered a great loss. They're all starting to leave us now. Barney Kessel, a legendary jazz guitarist, passed away from brain cancer at 80 earlier in the week.
