It is with a great deal of sadness that I have to report that one of the gentlest of souls, the wonderful pianist John Bunch, died yesterday in New York at the age of 88.
He may have been a good old age but it has still come as a bit of a shock to his many friends because he seemed so tenacious and so young at heart that it somehow seemed as if he would outlive us all.
Full appreciation will follow anon..
