Dead?
editOn the 7th of February the page was edited saying he had died on the 4th of February. However there are no sources on teh greater Interwebz backing up that claim. I find it hard to believe that none of the jazz periodicals online would carry an obituary, let alone any of the US newspapers I could find. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Voss (talk • contribs) 19:02, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
- It's in the news, in multiple outlets (Guardian, Huffington Post etc.), but as of this writing, the single source is a Facebook post from a nephew. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:57, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
Sideman section
editIt would be nice if someone formatted Byrd's sideman appearances in a way similar to Elvin Jones.Cosprings (talk) 19:52, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Importance
editI think mid is more appropriate than High for DB. He wasn't on a par with say Freddie Hubbard (High) IMO, led alone Miles (who has naturally been ranked as Top), but he was more than a journeyman (or minor) player. Philip Cross (talk) 17:38, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
