Anscheinend ist Randy Weston gestorben:
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. pic.twitter.com/FhsCIhujKU

Sehr, sehr traurig. Unendlich traurig. Und ewig dankbar für die grossartige Musik, die er hinterlassen hat … und für zwei unvergessliche Konzerte, die ich hören durfte (ein unvergessliches, ein gutes …)
