Jimmy Giuffre
"Jimmy Giuffre, the adventurous clarinetist [& other reeds], composer and arranger whose 50-year journey through jazz led him from writing the Woody Herman anthem "Four Brothers" through minimalist, drummerless trios to striking experimental orchestral works, died on Thursday in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He was 86."
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson
