What a giant in the jazz universe! Like Max Roach, no one will ever match him in skills (drums & piano), musicality, compositional talent & his ability to occupy so many musical worlds, from Chicago's AACM to electric Miles & Keith Jarrett's legendary trio. I will sorely miss his creative genius.
Jack DeJohnette, just one of the deepest musicians ever, and a personal hero. Here is my obituary for NPR Music.
