CHUCK YATES 1936- 2024
We’re focussed on the loss of Chuck Yates this month – the maestro of groove and bounce, and lover of his craft. Chuck had special friendships with piano players – Judy Bailey, Julian Lee and Kenny Powell and was particularly close to John Nicol, Ron Philpot and Laurie Bennett.Chuck introduced me to jazz piano playing and I have never heard better playing than his!!I think this is because he loved what he did.
