He seemed to know a lot about movies. He did a review on Expellled. I loved it. I was in the process of tracking this down. I posted Roger's review at the "EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed - Science Under Attack" topic (here). There I had quoted him:

Marcia Wallace, November 1, 1942 − October 25, 2013:
Bob Newhart's receptionist and the voice of the Simpson's Edna Krabappel.
Ronald Shannon Jackson, January 12, 1940 — October 19, 2013: Perhaps best known for his association with saxophonist Ornette Coleman. He also led his own group (Decoding Society) that at one point included guitarist Vernon Reid (pre Living Colour).

6 days after Lauren Becall.
Don Pardo - Wikipedia Have been sitting on that one because I discovered it late, but now seems to be a good time. As I recall from the above cited (read it quite a while back), Don Pardo was doing his thing at Saturday Night Live right up close to the time of his death (although sometimes it was prerecorded elsewhere). You can try to find the Youtube clip of him narrating with Frank Zappa doing "The Slime", back in about 1976. The version I had bookmarked is no longer available, although I did do an audio capture to save. That may have been the earliest SNL I saw (it, IIRC, started in 1975).

A great OC summary statement, stolen from someone else:
quote: Someone who is on the relatively short list of most important jazz artists ever. The still living old jazz titans that I recall: Sonny Rollins and Cecil Taylor. BTW, I read somewhere that Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor once attended a Grateful Dead concert together. If that's true, too bad that they didn't sit in with the band. Moose

The first is the original, Ornette Coleman - alto sax, Don Cherry - trumpet, Charlie Haden - bass, and Billy Higgens - drums. Via Youtube:
The second is by Diamanda Galas, just her, piano and voice (no words) - Pretty intense, so watch out (louder also)*. http://music.duykhanh.me/...Lonely-Woman-Diamanda-Galas.html Many years ago, I overdubbed these two version into 1 piece. Came out really good and makes Diamanda more accessible. Moose * ABE - OK, figured out how to turn the Youtube volume up Edited by Minnemooseus, : * ABE

It has been said, "The greatest jazz recording engineer ever". I certainly won't argue.

quote: Van Gelder Studio - Wikipedia Take a scan over the list of recordings at the second link. And I suspect the list might be a fair bit incomplete. Moose

I wasn't a big follower, but I do feel a tremendous respect for what she was doing.
I first heard about it on public radio last night, but the first online mention I encountered led to this page. Moose

Not a "great", but I think a "significant".
