When I first met Ed Cohn, it didn’t take long before we were talking about jazz music and as newcomers to Tucson, where we could see live jazz. Ed and his wife Karyl were dedicated Tucson Jazz Society (TJS) volunteers. So, it was fitting that many Jazz musicians participated in the celebration of Eddie’s life, February 10, 2012 at the Sheraton on Grant Rd. Additionally, last night was the first in the Tucson Jazz Society’s “Jazz Under the Stars” series was an evening of traditional New Orleans-style jazz dedicated to Ed.I was able to record some of the February 10th event, which I edited into the following video.
