I enjoy his music even if he was a hardcore leftist.
He was great. Very sad.
He and Scot LaFaro were close friends. I’ve just finished reading “Jade Visions,” the biography written by Scotty’s sister. It’s one of the better jazz biographies and has a lot of descriptions of his gigs and sessions. Highly recommended.

RIP...prayers....

Played a lot with my musical hero, Pat Metheny.
One of my favorite Haden/Metheny collaborations.
