DER US-AMERIKANISCHE JAZZMUSIKER GIUSEPPI LOGAN IST GESTORBEN

Der am 22. Mai 1935 in Philadelphia geborene US-amerikanische Free-Jazz-Musiker und Komponist Giuseppe «Giuseppi» Logan (Bild) ist am 17. April 2020 in Queens (New York City) gestorben. Er spielte Alt- und Tenorsaxophon, Bassklarinette, Flöte, Piano und die pakistanische Oboe. Logan arbeitete mit Meistern wie Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders, Bill Dixon, Don Pullen, Eddie Gomez und Byard Lancaster zusammen. In den frühen 1970er-Jahren verschwand Giuseppi Logan vollständig von der Jazzszene. Viele dachten, er lebe nicht mehr. 2008 tauchte er wieder auf und konnte schöne Erfolge feiern. Nun ist er an den Folgen einer COVID-19-Infektion gestorben.
