Badal Roy, R.I.P.

Jazz Alley

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

Just heard that Badal Roy died this week. I got to hear him a few times: with Ornette Coleman's Prime Time in the late 80's, with a Indian/Jazz fusion band he played with occasionally here in New Orleans, and just a few years ago at the Prime Time reunion concert at Lincoln Center. From a chance encounter with John McLaughlin in the Indian restaurant where he worked as a busboy and occasional tabla player to the world's stages with two of the most adventurous musicians in jazz--his is quite a story of a man who forged his own way in this world:
