This world is a bit less for his passing. These deaths always make me think how lucky the modern world is that it can forever capture the music these greats made and keep it available for people yet unborn.

A sad day.

If a time machine were available to me , I'd first return to the 50's when I was born ...after that , the late 30's when big band jazz was hot ... My dad would be so happy to hear me say this ...I didn't appreciate the big band era when I was a kid ... Do now ...
