Jay McShann
Vamos a extrañar a Jay McShann y Ahmet Ertegun.
Jay McShann, un pianista detrás de la sombra de Charlie Parker, pero aún activo hasta hace unos años, siempre manteniendo vivo ese particular sonido de Kansas City. En los años por venir está claro que su arte volverá a sobresalir, al menos para algunos de nosotros.
Y casi lo mismo para el productor discográfico Ahmet Ertegun, con su hermano Nesuhi Ertegun fue capaz de ayudar a músicos como John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Les McCann, Hank Crawford, Ray Charles, y otros como Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, todos bajo el techo de Atlantic Records.
Dos perdidas para la música, pero mirando hacia atrás, mucho para estar agradecido.
We're going to miss Jay McShann and Ahmet Ertegun.
Jay McShann, a pianist behind the Charlie Parker's shadow, but still active until recent years, always keeping alive that particular Kansas City sound. In years to come it's clear that his art will be again in the surface, at least for some of us.
And almost the same for the record producer Ahmet Ertegun, with his brother Nesuhi Ertegun he was able to help musicians like John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Les McCann, Hank Crawford, Ray Charles, and others like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, all under the Atlantic Records roof.
Two losses for the music, but looking back, a lot to be grateful.
