Sorry to hear that the pianist/composer/arranger Jim McNeely has passed away. His music had a profound impact on myself and many others. I am grateful for several interactions: a guest artist visit to Eastman when I was a student and the 2024 ISJAC Symposium where he stopped by my poster session.

The recent release of more music from Keith Jarrett's September 1992 performance at the Deer Head Inn prompted me to dig into my archives where I found the calendar of events from that week and my hand-scrawled list of the tunes they performed. A $10 cover for three sets of amazing music!
