NEA Jazz Masters: Mose Allison (2013)

Mose Allison is not just a superior talent as an instrumentalist and singer, but also as a songwriter. His songs have been covered by jazz artists as well as by rock musicians such as the Who, the Clash, Leon Russell, Bonnie Raitt, and Van Morrison. Adept in both the blues and jazz, he defies categorization and has been a major influence on musicians regardless of genre for more than 50 years. More information: www.arts.gov/h...

I saw him in concert shortly before he died. Sat down early, right down by the stage, thought, "Wow, great seats!" Except for the placement of the piano. We watched his back all night, but it was still memorable to hear him and say hello to him afterwards. Lovely man.
