Its always great to see and hear younger players emerging. #JadenEvans carries the genes from his legendary grandfather, #BillEvans, and here he is at only 15 years old putting those genes to good use. Gives me hope for the future!

Another fabulous Danish bassist. #HugoRasmussen (22 March 1941 – 30 August 2015) was a great player and wonderful human being. I really miss this guy. #Jazzsky #Jazzbass #Jazzmusic #Jazz

20 years ago today the world lost a giant of a bass player. #Niels-HenningOrstedPedersen was a huge inspiration to me and a generation of bassists. I miss him dearly. #DR TV made this beautiful tribute shortly after his untimely death. #JazzSky #JazzBass #NHOP #JazzMusic youtu.be/uBGhNqE5J10?...

Me too. I simply could not live without them. The immense grief when we lose them is the hard price we pay for their love, but I will never be without dogs in my life. There's nothing like the loving bond with your dog.

They recued me to! Here's a better photo. Jack is only 4 years old and Jessie is knocking on 11 now. I love them both so much.
