Eulogy for Dan

The Jazz Journalists Association just used my National Endowment for the Arts research on Dan Morgenstern in their tribute to Dan:

Dan Morgenstern, 1929-2024 – Revered journalist, scholar, devotee, role model

"Thanks to Hank Hehmsoth for creating the Dan Morgenstern Collection , which has all 148 record reviews he wrote as DownBeat editor in the 1960s (PDFs), eight Grammy winning essays for record albums, filmography, artist video portraits (including tributes to Dan by the late Michael Cuscuna and JJA Award-winning Ted Panken), interviews (All PDFs text searchable, with citations, accessible for the vision-impaired.)

Also at Youtube: “Just Jazz”, Morgenstern’s PBS TV production from Chicago, 1970., featuring performances by Erroll Garner, Ray Nance, Dexter Gordon, Gene Ammons, Bobby Hackett with Vic DIckenson, Don Byas, Art Hodes and Wild Bill Davison, and Billy Eckstine, among others."
