Yes, it is a sad day for all who love music. Although I am still in
the process of learning the jazz idiom, much of my desire to explore
jazz came from hearing some of the many outstanding cuts produced
by the Count and his orchestra. Re his piano work, nobody could get
more out of less.

First Monk, now Basie. A generation of musicians is disappearing,
and I regret that I seem to have been born just a bit late to
really get to know them and their music. Sure, there are records,
but I've been to New Orleans, and I know the difference.
