Dizzy and Rudolf
Dizzy Gillespie and Rudolf Nureyev died today, together
Well not – together
but their demise on the same day was a lot to take
I mean apart from the sadness and loss their close friends and family might feel – who will fill their energetic and artful shoes?
It raises the question – does this happen – when “greats” disappear Is there a new genius or prominent talented being nurtured somewhere in India? Is he a teenager in Sumatra or a babe in arms in Rome as we speak? A sort of replacement for those lost and what they offered.
