- Mingus: the giant American bassist, himself a “mongrel” with so many racial bloodlines, defined American music as: “...what we play, belongs with the people who have a feeling of freedom and like to play together without discrimination”; dies of ALS, singing his last compositions into a tape recorder
- My Favorite Things: from the great duo of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein for their last play, The Sound of Music, to the iconic recording by “Trane”, i.e. John Coltrane, master African American saxophonist
