RIP MR CHARLIE MARIANO

[lubben3]

Wonderful.

One of the great losses in Jazz is the absence of Mariano from the great Mingus revival of the last 20 years. Some of the important voices of his earlier music were part of the revival (Handy, Knepper, Richmond). But Mariano's absence, while he was living and playing wonderfully, is a terrible shame. One wonders why. It would have been great to hear his later life take on the Mingus repertoire that he played and the music he hadn't left his mark on (Sound of Love . . .).

lubben3~ Charlie is still living and rocking his jazz in Germany at 85! While I also love and miss the bebop sound, each man has to follow his own road and this is where Charlie is at, beautiful!

Charlie was never absence.

He was more active here than every one else. The fact is, that he was never very interested in "revivals", he looked forward - the fire to learn and to meet and play with the younger ones and of different cultures was stronger and it was that was kept him growing.

His presence and influence can´t be overrated. The adventures and results of his long long road were nearly ignored in the US. But that´s a question of perspective...

[shranki]

Every where else they received the fullest benefit of him evolutioning the music and of his life.

Thank you Charlie for everything you gave to us.

Sleep my love.
