A vida é fácil de ser explicada, assim como a morte.
Infelizmente ele foi mais um dos grandes artistas que faleceu no seu inferno astral, ou seja, antes do aniversário dele.
Hi Wilson and yes…sad but true 🙁
Take care and all the best.

I’m glad I got to see him perform live and I got to meet him and we talked guitar as I was a guitarist from San Francisco he was very warm and welcoming and I’m sorry that he’s gone. He contributed a lot to jazz guitar.
Hi Tyrone and thanks for your comment. Glad that you got to see and meet Jack. From all that I have heard, he was a sweetheart of a man and he defininitely contributed a lot to our relatively small community.
Take care and all the best.

Just heard about Jack’s passing. Was lucky enough to have seen him several times with the great English pianist Derek Smith and his amazing quartet. Jack was one of the best. RIP Jack Wilkins.
Hey Jim and great that you got to see Jack in person. So sad that he is no longer with us.
Take care and all the best.
