George Walker, ground-breaking composer and the first African-American to win the Pulitzer Prize for music, has passed away at the age of 96: npr.org/sections/decep…

Jazz pianist Randy Weston left us this morning at age 92. Weston was the ultimate individualist whether at the keyboard (where he was a Monk disciple before almost anyone else) or when moving his jazz career from NY to North Africa. An irreplaceable artist & inspiring role model.

So sad to hear about the passing of Randy Weston. While his originality always stood without question, I was always struck by the visible joy on his face whenever he performed live.

Words from Ezra Collective.

I'm truly saddened to hear about the passing of legendary Hammond B3 Organ Master Dr. Lonnie Smith. He graciously spent MANY hours with us over the years - Talking about the nature of life, love, and music. He was truly one of a kind and will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace, Doc.

That was a clip from a longer interview we did with the good Doctor in 2013. You can see the rest of it here: jazzline.com/video/dr-lonni…
