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.
Final tweet on this - My two favorite photos of Dr. Lonnie Smith, taken by @AvidLaRosa at the 2013 Iowa City Jazz Festival, where he was joined by Jonathan Kreisberg on Guitar and Joe Dyson on Drums. Truly electric performance!

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.
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.
