Jay McShann passes

[Staxsun]

The last of the great Kansas City bluesmen has passed on. He lived to be 90, and I feel greatly fortunate to have seen him perform at Jazzfest. He was amazingly talented and in great form even at his advanced age.

Shit, that explains why I'm hearing him on the radio right now. Just finished a sweeeet version of Sweet Georgia Brown.
