This wiki needs a jazz page. It will very likely grow.

Summer 2020

McCoy Tyner

McCoy Tyner died on March 6, 2020.^[1] It appears he was scheduled to be at Jazz à Vienne, perhaps even with Ravi Coltrane (again?)

Less than two weeks later, Nduduzo Makhathini, a South African pianist/healer,^[2] had posted :

Great energy... (fun bass solo at 7:30 or so)

The Real McCoy @ Jazz à Vienne with Ravi Coltrane playing "Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit", 20??:

• Just Feelin', 1985.

Live at the Untitled Basement. Intense.

John Zorn

It's easy to get stressed by both "The Ghost of Departed Quantities"RIP (the opening salvo slightly overstates the violence the listener will be done) and "Parabolas". Both have some cool Snoopy (Vince Guaraldi) moments and amazingly stitched transitions. Hedge-clippers have been tuned to sound either like a typewriter or scissors in the second track. There's Schroeder piano tantrums, grand eerieness and delicacy, even a few stop-with-all-the-damned-notes-already moments thrown in for good measure... overall... a lot of fun.

is a pluckier guitar trio, much easier on the brain though "Infernal Night (Sin Is Behovely)" does get a bit squirrely spidery.

Hugh Masekela

I wouldn't be making this page if it weren't for Tony. :)
