Article: RIP Gilbert Klein - Thanks For Everything

[Milt99]

I read every one of Gilbert's articles.

Never realized he was a seminal figure in San Francisco music.

For whatever reason I have a special affinity for the San Francisco Sound.

The bands, the venues, the vibe.

An unique time in the history of American Music that equals Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbeck, Glenn Miller, Bennie Goodman, The Duke, Gene Krupa, Charley Parker, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and all the rest of the American originals.
