IN MEMORIAM CHRIS KOERTS
Guitarist Chris Koerts, one of the founders of the illustrious Dutch progrock group Earth & Fire from The Hague, passed away on Friday 11/11/22 at the age of 74. The guitar virtuoso founded the band in 1967 together with twin brother Gerard. They previously performed together as The Singing Twins.
IN MEMORIAM PHAROAH SANDERS
Pharoah Sanders, de baanbrekende tenorsaxofonist en componist die synoniem werd voor de spirituele jazzesthetiek, stierf op 24 september in een ziekenhuis in Los Angeles, Californië op 81-jarige leeftijd. Hij was eind jaren zestig een belangrijke pijler van de avant-garde binnen de jazz als eerstelijnspartner van John Coltrane en als lid van het Jazz Composer's Orchestra, voordat hij zelf naam maakte als bandleider. Hij werd algemeen beschouwd als de erfgenaam van Coltrane.
IN MEMORIAM CLARENCE BECTON
Vorige week overleed de Amerikaanse jazzdrummer Clarence Becton op 88-jarige leeftijd in Amsterdam, waar hij veertig jaar gewoond heeft. Becton speelde met grote namen als Thelonious Monk, Coleman Hawkins en Woody Shaw en was tot op hoge leeftijd actief in de Nederlandse scene. Becton speelde ook op het album Free at last van Mal Waldron, de eerste release van het gerenommeerde ECM-label.
IN MEMORIAM IAN McDONALD (KING CRIMSON)
Co-founder of King Crimson and Foreigner Ian McDonald, passed away last week of cancer at age 75. McDonald was an essential creative force within the original incarnation of King Crimson in 1969. He quitted the band shortly after the release of the landmark debut album 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' together with drummer Michael Giles, with whom he recorded the very good, overlooked and undervalued album 'McDonald & Giles' in 1970.
March 8, 2021 the French-Scottish guitarist James Mac Gaw passed away. He has been the guitarist from the illustrious vocal jazzrock group Magma from July 1997 (Nice Jazz Festival) to June 2015 (Osaka, Japan). Together with bassist Philippe Buissonnet he became the backbone of the born again phenomenon, flanking leader Christian Vander (drums/vocals), always ready, delivering everywhere.
