Jazz Alley From Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to the new greats of today, this is the place for Jazz! |

Jamal and Rollins are now 90 and Jarrett isn't doing live gigs or even recording any more, as far as I know.Who else has now "retired" through ill health, age or other reasons?
Any news on Archie Shepp and other musicians and "jazz legends" now in their 80s?
