This coming Saturday (Halloween), we will have our usual Music City Jazz Jam in which we will also pay tribute to our core bass player, Jerry Lackey, who passed away this past Monday. The room will be filled with song and snacks as well as fond remembrances. Please feel free to join and share in our love for Jerry. In addition to Ted Wilson on the keys, we are grateful to have the wonderful Drew Baddeley on bass.

The Music City Jazz Jam mourns the sudden passing of its beloved bass player, Jerry Lackey, early this morning. Jerry has been with our Jam from it inception 12 years ago and was the very heartbeat of our musical fellowship.

It’s hard to comprehend that this wonderful octogenarian won’t be taking center stage at our Saturday afternoon jams any longer. He was such a trouper and amazing talent. He gave so freely to us week after week. On a personal level, Jerry played bass for my Beetlejazz: The Later Years show here in town just prior to COVID. What a wonderful experience working with him, Ted Wilson and the late drummer Duffy Jackson on this labor of love. One of my very favorites from the show was a poignant version of “Penny Lane” with just voice and bass.

A composer, conductor and arranger for numerous decades, he is known in the Nashville area for his world-class symphonic arrangements and original compositions. He will be sorely missed. Our hearts are collectively broken. Our love to you, Jerry!!
