Allen Touissant, 1938-2015

11Toussaint-web-articleLarge

(I heard a KPFA dj named Tim Lynch back-announce a set of Toussaint covers last night and immediately pulled over in my car to find via hand-held the announcemnet in Times of New York and then drove by a magazine stand to get the Times (Ben Sisario) obit as a hard-copy.

I also mentioned it passing that I loved the Toussaint show at Stanford Jazz camp and festival two years ago).
