RIP Jazz Producer Orrin Keepnews, 1923-2015



"I accept the fact that, in all probability, sooner or later I will split. And I haven't really thought about [an epitaph]. But I hope it would have to do with recognizing that I did understand the music, and I did do everything I possibly could, by fair means or foul, to advance the cause of the music and the people who play it."
