Episode 268: Jazz Musicians, How they Lived and How They Died, Part 3
I start by talking about and playing a great track by Wes Montgomery and Wynton Kelly--fraom newly discovered recordings released last year. And I finish with the great Rashaan Roland Kirk--focusing on hs amazing resilience as he kept playing despite a debilitating stroke.
Another amazingly resilient musicians who arried on despited physical difficulties was Michel Petrucciani.
Other musicians and singers I play this week are Chet Baker with Paul Bley, Fats waller, Bessie Smith, Eric Dolphy w. a bunch of jazz superstars (including drummer Tony Williams), drummer Karen Carpenter (really!), and Amy Winehouse.
And as a special treat, a Vancouver pianist who made only one commercial recording, but was raved about by Oscar Peterson. His name was Chris Gage.
