Passing of Ralph Sutton
By John Farrell

I think it is appropriate to this forum to mention that the great
American stride pianist, Ralph Sutton, passed away on 30 December.
Without question he was the best exponent of the Harlem school of
playing for many years and I have "borrowed" quite a number of his
recorded performances for my piano roll arrangements.

Rest in peace, Ralph; you enriched the jazz world more than any
words can express.
