Very, very sad news this morning: Tom Terrell's battle with cancer ended at 5:05 AM today. His last days, I have heard, were peaceful and pain-free.
Tom was an incredible writer--I spent time just a couple of weeks ago re-reading and thoroughly enjoying his notes for the Miles Davis "On the Corner" boxed set. (An editor friend told me that despite all the turbulence of the last few weeks, Tom submitted a "best releases of 2007" list to him just a few days ago.) But even more than that, Tom was a wonderful friend with the strongest of hugs and the readiest of laughs. He will be deeply, deeply missed.
Funeral arrangements are being made for next Saturday, December 8th, in Washington, DC. A separate memorial service will be organized in NYC at a later date.
