P.S. At the end of every year, we put together a short (and frankly incomplete) playlist to honor some of the giants who passed in the previous year.
It’s a bittersweet project.
Sorrow at the loss of such great souls…Joy in the appreciation of what beautiful gifts they made to all of us with their lives.
Join Jazz on the Tube fans around the world in celebrating and honoring these great artists – and please share the link.
Thanks.

It’s a splendid thing when a master musician takes the time to write a book about his life in the music and his views on the direction the music is taking.
We talk with composer/bandleader/bassist Chuck Israels who has shared bandstands with Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins and was an integral part of Bill Evans’ creations.

If you’re around 64 or older you probably remember the shock of the 1968 Olympic leap of Bob Beamon when it happened.
He didn’t just win the gold, he also shattered the world record – and 56 years later it’s still the Olympic record.
What you probably didn’t know, and I didn’t know until very recently, is that Bob has had a passion for Afro-Caribbean music since he was 9 years old growing up in the projects in South Jamaican, Queens.
But he was more than just a fan. Until he went to college and shifted his attention to sports, he was on track to become a professional musician.
Now at 77, he’s playing again. In a band and is on his first CD.
