RIP Mose Allison

[Hacienda71]

A great Jazz pianist. Lived to the ripe old age of 89.
I started listening to him in my teens. Loved his music. Parchment Farm being a firm favourite.

Killed by Internet death hoax, sadly.
I love a bit of Mose, and though he's old, seemingly he ain't dead tet... (unles the bit about it being a hoax is itself a hoax)

Not sure but his daughter has confirmed it to Rolling Stone magazine and it is in the New York Times and The Chicago Tribune.

I've recently heard it referred to as "failing"

But NYT still has journalists and fact checkers

Sad news. Great pianist. The Seventh Son was one of my favs.
