Why do Jazz cats have such a long life expectancy? Most of them are 70, 80, 90 or fucking 102 years old like Marshall Allen and THEY STILL PLAY MUSIC.

you wanna tell that to Coltrane, Parker, or Chet Baker? even Miles Davis only made it to his 60s.

Impressive, nice... Now let's talk about Joachim Kühn being 82, Doug hammond, Eumir Deodato and Fred Wesley being 83... or Bob James and Herbie Hancock being 86... or Phil Ranelin being 87...

Plenty died tragically young, like Eric Dolphy and Scott LaFaro
