Jazz drummer Jack DeJohnette passed away on 26 October 2025. I was fortunate to catch him in London once with Pat Metheny on guitar and Jaco Pastorius on fretless bass. Helluva gig. Helluva drummer.

Jack DeJohnette obituary

Thrilling American jazz drummer, pianist and composer who played with some of the genre’s greatest stars

“Like Miles Davis, and perhaps counterintutively for a #drummer, #DeJohnette is not interested in filling the space of #silence that surrounds his playing, but (in) playing with it, playing it, playing the space as much as the sound he creates” #RIP #JackDejohnette open.substack.com/pub/newdirec...

If a music is a craft that one works to develop over a lifetime, then Jack DeJohnette was surely a master craftsman.

Listening to the album Batik with #RalphTowner, #EddieGomez & #JackDeJohnette. It’s extraordinary, the rapport between Gomez and #DeJohnette. One of the latter’s great strengths was his ability to lock in with a range of great #bassists. He really will be missed. #RIP #jazz #music #MusicSky #JazzSky
