I mean it's sad but at least if we're lucky Warner Brothers will see the cash grab and re-release his discontinued stuff onto streaming like they did with Prince.

fuck, i didn't even know he was still alive

lol pianis(t)

sticky for a jazz legend

Corea didn't get a sticky. This guy probably isn't going to either.

its good he died so capitalists can profit!

Hey I'm not happy with the system either I'm just saying it's probably gonna happen.

/mu/ is dead 

had no idea he was still alive, RIP

one of my favorite musicians of all time

RIP

Huh, im not super knowledgeable on jazz but it’s always interested me, what big names did he play with? 



I wonder if he was a Nation of Islam guy, his name sounds muslimy. Imagine being a 20 year old in 1950, 30 year old in 1960, playing live jazz with all the best. What a heck of a life this guy must have lived. Probably a lot more fulfilling than the lives most famous musicians of today lead. 



RIP king

go back to fantano grips, kamasi washington, tylor the dilator, anco, nmh, fucking faggots

bro. all those jazz guys seem interchangeable, and they are. specially the ones of today.

He doesn't really have any side credits. He's mostly known for solo work and being sampled a lot. 

The only major credits he seems to have outside of his solo work are two writing credits with Miles Davis (New Rhumba and Ahmad's Blues)

Why is this place filled with so many retarded edgy teenagers? Literally nobody cares when you're being an edgy retard. We've seen it countless times already.

Jazz musicians lived with rich European ladies allowances, not with record sales. Nobody bought them anyway.

Guess her last name

>Nobody bought them anyway.

Nobody bought jazz albums? 

You're kidding right? They were 'bought' enough to be sampled by Kanye, Jay Z and De La Soul. 

Regardless of whether you think they sampled it well, they aren't exactly small named. I'm sure Ahmad's stuff was bought to SOME degree if names like that found it.

They were dirt poor junkies.

There were no rehab clinics, you were put in mental ward until you were better and thrown back to streets. If you got caught smoking weed your performing rights were cancelled and you couldn't play anywhere for years.

Bird's Relaxin' At Camarillo was about these periods.

>Nobody bought jazz albums?

Yes. Try to find jazz album from billboard lists. 

Pre war jazz was another thing. Lou Armstrong and Benny Goodman were superstars of their time.

>Try to find jazz album from billboard lists.

You do realize music can be bought without being on pop charts, right? 

We're not arguing if it's the most popular genre ever, you're saying people 'aren't buying it', and that's a lie. 

But even then there IS poppy jazz albums. Najee? Headhunters? Heavy Weather? Kenny G if you wanna go by technicalities.

Real One
