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.
