One of my high school classmates was Wayne Shorter's niece. Weeks after her graduation, she and Wayne Shorter's wife died aboard TWA Flight 800.


In the So-Many-People-Have-a-Wayne-Shorter-Story category...

I went to Zellerbach last night to see the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. At one point, they described how New Orleans parade/Dixieland bands did funerals (mournful, then celebratory after the burial) and said they were going to simulate one in honor of Wayne Shorter (most people hadn't heard and were like "What?!?"). So they did and it was great. Then, I come home and read his name on this thread.


I saw PHJB in Naw'lins in 2017. I took this photo of the stage before the musicians assembled. If you can, check that out some day. It is worth it.

^^^ They were good last night! Seem to recall they have two bands: one on the road and one at "the hall". ^^^

Dreamt of my grandmother last night. She was a sturdy bear backer since the 30's and would have been 105 this year. She was worse for the wear in my dream, but we had some tender moments.

She died shortly after her 99th.

I appreciate whomever it was who said they missed their dad. Thus, I'm taking 2 of my girls to go see mine today.

The obituaries thread is like a clock on the wall - just to remind us it's there and still ticking away.

I'm pretty sure that death of marriage qualifies for this thread, right?

I saw PHJB at Zellerbach in . . . 1973 or 1974. Great show, but I hadn't thought of it in years until reading your comment.

To steal a line, if you can remember the early 1970's, you weren't there.
I only saw one concert at Zellerbach: John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, featuring Mick Taylor. I couldn't hear for two days.

There's some consumer fraud there.
You go to see a musical show and walk out deaf.

They should be required to pass out ear protection if playing above X decibels.
My brother used to go to heavy metal shows in the 80's and 90's, and sometimes take me. My kids complaint I have the TV too loud, but by brother has hearing aides now.
I realize it's typical for the aging, but the concert scene isn't right in this regard.

Longtime Chiefs receiver and Super Bowl winner Otis Taylor dies age 80

* I saw him play many times in Oakland as a kid. At 6'3 he was a huge receiver for his era. He was formidable.

Wait a minute…..

An ongoing rumor claims that Lydia Tar died at the Oscars 2023 following a nasty fall on Sunday. But just like other celebrities are often targetted by death hoaxes, similarly, Tar, who is a fictional character, has fallen victim to the same.

Fosbury died on Sunday at a nursing facility in Salt Lake City. He was 76. The cause was lymphoma, a spokesman announced on Instagram.

Caldwell had been battling illness for 5 years, including neuropathy which left him unable to walk.

What ethnicity is Bobby Caldwell?

"Executives at the label TK wanted to conceal the fact that Caldwell was white, so they kept his face off the album cover. When he toured with Natalie Cole to support the album, most of the audience was black and many were surprised that Caldwell was white."

Yeah, me too! Until I watched that video!

Gianmarco Tamberi had a leg injury that required a leg cast and a setback that nearly derailed his career.
He injured his left deltoid ligament during training in 2016.

They had the option of going into a Winner takes all "Jump Off"
Or tying for Gold.
