WheelHead Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I noticed this was not posted, so, I just wanted to mention to those who may have known him or knew-about Jimmy Amadie that he has passed away Dec 10th 2013 of lung cancer. Jimmy's career came to an unexpected end with tendinitus years ago at the height of it. Though previously playing with some of the jazz greats, he then reverted to teaching mainly, I believe. Later through surgery and other means he was able to do a couple of sets. Obituary Thought I would mention this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ybyb Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This is a sad passing for jazz piano fans, Jimmy was a great guy, player, educator and inspiration.. Dave Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapperJack Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yes, we are all richer for the work Jimmy put into making his ideas about jazz piano clear and accessible to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
