Devastating. Probably the last of the Great Ones. McCoy Tyner and Wayne Shorter are still around, but in terms of reinventing this shit... This is it.

VERY true; I've just been thinking of those who were more on the (ostensibly) destructo side of things. But Sonny is one saxophone colossus, of course. ![]()

Thanks, awesome obit! I was really glad I saw him w/ Lyons. I noted that the obit above finally mentioned swing, didn't really mention bop. I personally think that extreme hard bop (mohs scale stuff) was his forte, and no doubt, the guy could swing. The quote above about "the percussive use" of the piano is priceless. RIP...

Thanks for sharing Thurston’s Instagram post!
A solid story shared with me was about Cecil at a week of Masters classes at Oberlin in the early 90’s. Cecil didn’t play a single note on the piano all week. When the end of week Saturday night concert came to an end, Cecil walks out on stage wearing pajamas and started reading poetry. He read long enough that people started leaving......once the room was thinned out, Cecil slayed the piano for two hours. Quote:
