Allaboutjazz.com
has published my comprehensive review of jazz-related events and milestones
from 2014. In a nutshell, it was a year noteworthy for its numbers.
Newport
turned 60, Blue Note turned 75, International Jazz Day's third edition featured
900 events in more than 190 countries. The jazz world lost seven of its NEA
Jazz Masters, and New Orleans trumpeter Lionel Ferbos
died at 103. Sad but not unexpected, the jazz community again said goodbye to
lot of players and industry figures.
I’ve
been doing these compilations for several decades, originally for UPI, and for
allaboutjazz since 2004. It is always interesting to sift back through the
prior 12 months from years that seem to fly by in a blur.
