2012 - The Year in Jazz
The world of jazz officially went global in 2012, kicked the Grammy Awards in the shins, dealt with
economic issues and Mother Nature, and found new ways to innovate in this
social media and Internet-savvy age. That is the overview of my annual wrapup
of significant goings on in the jazz world, and its continuing move of players
to the celestial jazz band, which has been published by allaboutjazz.com.
The
many losses in the jazz world ranged from pianist, composer and
bandleader Dave Brubeck and composer Clare Fischer to drummer Pete “LaRoca”
Sims, saxophonists Red Holloway, John Tchicai and David S. Ware, and singer
Etta James. The list is frighteningly long again for 2012.
