RE: Retired jazz greats... Rollins, Jamal, Jarrett and others

It is hard to say who is retired these days since almost no one is working and octogenarians are the least likely to be playing out during the pandemic. I saw Archie Shepp with Dave Burrell at the Vision Festival in 2018 and Andrew Cyrille, Kidd Jordan and Milford Graves (last time he performed I believe) there in 2019. I know Kidd hopes to be able to perform again (he's 85) but the world has its own schedule. I am not sure but I don't think Cyrille, Burrell, or Shepp consider themselves retired, but for a musician retiring is different than not touring. For these guys playing their axe is their life.
