Martin Johnson

Let's hear how he framed Jarrett's solo on The Way You Look Tonight.

And now let's hear Dejanette's solo.

It appears that Jarrett, who often vocalizes during his own solos, is cheering his bandmate on.

In 2013, Dijonet returned to his roots on the Chicago avant-garde scene, assembling a unique ensemble featuring several titans of the Windy City avant-garde.

Pianist Muhal Richard Abrams, plus saxophonists Roscoe Mitchell and Henry Threadgill.

The band played at the Chicago Jazz Festival, and the concert was documented on a recording called Made in Chicago.

Let's hear Dijonet duet with Abrams, one of his early mentors, on Museum of Time.

Dijonet never stopped exploring new musical vistas.

He collaborated with greats like guitarist Bill Frussell and vocalist Bobby McFerrin, and he made recordings outside of jazz's wide boundaries.

His 2010 release, Peacetime, won a Grammy Award for Best New Age Album.

In 2012, he was awarded a Jazz Masters Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Dijonet was one of the very few drummers with the daring and musicality to open a recording with a four-minute drum solo, as he did here on his 1979 disc, New Directions in Europe.

Jack Dijonet was one of a kind.

Linda Mahon Oh's album, Entry, was one of the most intriguing recordings of 2009.

The lineup was both austere and feisty, and it was for good reason.

Oh and her bandmates, trumpeter Ambrose Akin, Missouri, and drummer Obed Calver, were in their 20s and eager to tell the jazz world in no uncertain terms that they belonged.

Mission accomplished.

Now each has an established academic position, and all three are at the top tier of their profession.

For this recording, O convened a new trio featuring a Ken Missouri and drummer Taishan Sori, who is her colleague in Vijay Iyer's trio.

As you could hear on the track we just heard, Living Proof, they still make assertive music, but it's more relaxed now.
