Bad Bad Day

Little time to post but will complete this when I can. Really saddening day today as I learned this morning of the passing of Andrew Hill. Point of Departure really turned my head to '60s free- and compositional jazz; jazz didn't always have to be about Miles or Coltrane. Then, this afternoon's terrible news of the tragic and sudden death of journalist and historian David Halberstam. His books were wonderful, his presence (via media) in my classroom was pivotal. Damnit; overall, a really dark day for me.
