R.I.P. John Bunch

Jazz pianist and former accompanist to Tony Bennett, John Bunch died March 30 age 88. 
Trumpet player, Jon-Erik Kelso, brought this to our attention on Facebook.
As well as playing with big bands such as Herman and Goodman, John Bunch recorded more recently with guitarist Bucky Pizzarrelli.
Greatly missed by all lovers of tasteful, harmonically creative piano playing.
Lance.

  1. Have great memories of chatting with John many times over the years at the Nairn Jazz Festival .... He'll be sadly missed, both as a lovely man, and as a great pianist. gdscotjazz
