The Minsky Moment

First installment of the Mosaic Records haul: Dial Modern Jazz sessions.  All from the late 1940s.  About half is Charlie Parker, including the sessions with a teenaged Miles Davis.  Lots of other goodies though including early Dexter Gordon, Erroll Garner, a terrific trio recording from Dodo Marmorosa, and a rare leader session from Sonny Berman.

The people on these recordings had a high casualty rate.  Berman died a few months later in his early 20s (OD), Parker died at 34 (chronic drug abuse), Wardell Gray also died at in 34 in Vegas (either drug-related or whacked by the Mob), Miles Davis lost several productive years to heroin, Gordon and Howard McGhee lost most the 1950s to heroin, Bud Powell died at 42 and lost most of his career to drugs and assorted other problems, Dodo Marmorosa was mentally instable and never recovered from involuntary electroshock courtesy of the US Army.   But all of them were at their peak when these recordings were made.

When you say drug related or whacked, does that mean it was homicide or was cause of death unknown?

He was found out in the desert in Vegas with a broken neck.  The story was that he ODed on heroin, fell and broke his neck - the musicians he was with panicked, drove a few miles out to the desert and dumped his body there. 

There has always been speculation about more sinister causes - someone even wrote a novel about it: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Tenor-Man-Bill-Moody/dp/096441385X
