Charlie Haden is no more.
From the New York Times of Sunday 13 July, 2014: Charlie Haden, Influential Jazz Bassist, Is Dead at 76.
“Mr. Haden, who liked to say he was driven by concern for “the struggle of the poor people,” hardly restricted his opinions to the Liberation Music Orchestra. While playing a festival with Mr. Coleman in Lisbon, in 1971, he dedicated his “Song for Ché” to the black liberation movements of Mozambique and Angola, and was promptly jailed.” I didn’t understand all his music, but the Liberation Orchestra opened some deep resonance with me.
