Such a great obit too. Jean Bach seems to have been amazing.
"As a teenager she knocked on Duke Ellington’s door and established a lasting friendship.
Moving east to attend Vassar College, a short train ride from Harlem, she practically majored in trips to the Apollo Theater."
Jean passed at the age of 94. "Until six months ago, she was out on the town listening to jazz."
Friends, take note - this is exactly how I want to go.
