As the jazz community mourns the death of beloved Jazz guitarist Russell Malone, we reflect on his incredible legacy. wbgo.org/podcast/art-of…

We're deeply saddened by the passing of the brilliant jazz guitarist Russell Malone, who graced our garden this spring alongside Ron Carter. His music brought our Sculpture Garden to life for a beautiful evening that will forever resonate. Read more about Malone below.

We’ve lost a jazz legend who touched many lives. Let’s come together to give him the farewell he deserves. Please donate and share to help honor Russell Malone. ❤🙏 gofund.me/6bf94f3d

Russell Malone was highly regarded for his versatility: He was able to support a variety of singers and instrumentalists in a range of styles, but he also had his own well-defined sound as a bandleader and soloist. nytimes.com/2024/08/25/art…

Today is the birthday of THE man, Charlie Parker. I never met him, but I did play with other musicians to his already-recorded tracks in the 1988 Clint Eastwood film Bird. Here's a tune from that soundtrack: youtube.com/watch?v=XBUQUr…
