West Coast jazz musician Buddy Collette died on September 19th in Los Angeles. He was 89. Although considered one of the finest saxophonists of his era, Collette first came to prominence on the flute as a founding member of drummer Chico Hamilton’s quintet during the ’50s, and helped popularize the use of the instrument in jazz. After a stroke in 1998 ended his performing career, Collette continued to teach and mentor music students at the university level. He was also nominated for a Grammy in 2001 for the concert album Live From the Nation’s Capital. [NYTimes.com]Jazz pianist Jason Moran has been awarded the 2010 MacArthur Foundation Grant.
