Great jazz. We adopted a dachshund from a musician who named him Dexter, after Dexter Gordon. His other dachshund is Pepper, after Pepper Adams.

Don't forget Jimmy Blanton died at 23. He was an incredibly innovative bassist one that probably helped us move from tuba to string bass in jazz.

And the dog in my avatar is named Louie, after Louis Armstrong.

The list of jazz musicians who had early deaths is voluminous. Yes, he was an innovator.
Thanks,
