First time I saw Jack deJohnette live, almost 40 years ago, was in Vienna, an outerworldly concert with Jarrett and Peacock, but most impressive was this melodious drummer hovering over his drum set to effortlessly paint rhythms. A genius will be missed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_De... #Jazzsky

Neben Klimawandel, Artensterben & Krieg waren die vielen armen Menschen, die jeden Tag heulend im Supermarkt zusammenbrechen weil sie den Veggieburger nicht von ihrem Fleischburger unterscheiden konnten, sicherlich eines der größten Probleme der Menschheit. Gut dass wir wenigstens das gelöst haben.
