Another sad loss, with some poignant resonances for me.

My Dad was also born in 1930 (he's still going, 80 next month) and his best buddy Ray Price played drums in the Oscar Peterson trio for a couple of albums.

RIP Ed.

RIP, Ed. I met Ed at an IAJE convention - such a sweet guy.

The trio is back together.
