The great Norwegian jazz drummer Jon Christensen has died today. I have dozens of albums that include his wonderful playing, as I’m sure many, many of you do too.
Thanks for the music Jon.

That is really too bad. I just realized that Jon Christensen is the drummer of my first ECM record I bought, Ralph Towner - Solstice in the mid 70s. So I can say, it was also him who brought me into this kind of jazz. Mea culpa that I didn’t pursue this career. The record is now on and will certainly be played a lot in the coming days in memory of Jon Christensen.
R.I.P. Jon
