Bruce Lundvall, longtime president of Blue Note Records, died on Tuesday at 79. He was a force for jazz, and a staunch advocate for his artists. I wrote his NYT obituary, in today’s paper.

Farewell, Bruce Lundvall

The loss of Bruce Lundvall is, in the words of so many who were close to him, devastating. How can you fault a guy whose primary passions are jazz, Italian food, wine and humor? Bruce not only loved the music; he loved the artists themselves and reveled in their company. I had the honor of working closely with him since he signed Dexter Gordon to Columbia Records in 1976. By the time he relaunched Blue Note in 1984, we were best of friends. Bruce had a way of making dreams come true for himself and everyone around him. He was a one-of-a-kind and he will be missed, but his good works live on.
