So Long to mathematician Tom Lehrer, best known for his satirical songs, which he performed (and issued on record albums) in the 1950s and 60s ("Poisoning Pigeons in the Park", "Vatican Rag", and many more).

Jack Dejohnette 1942-2025


I just read on AP:

NEW YORK (AP) — Jack DeJohnette, a celebrated jazz drummer who worked with Miles Davis on his landmark 1970 fusion album and collaborated with Keith Jarrett and many other greats of the genre, has died at 83.

The acclaimed drummer died Sunday in Kingston, New York, of congestive heart failure, surrounded by his wife, family and close friends, his assistant, Joan Clancy, told The Associated Press.
