Stanley Crouch
One of the most ferocious and powerful voice for jazz and a vocal advocate for progressives in the arts, and a cantankerous detractor of genres he considered fads, was the critic and essayist Stanley Crouch (14 December 1945-16 September 2020). A self-taught drummer, he played at Lincoln Center as part of a jazz combo, Black Music Infinity, and co-founded Jazz (with Wynton Marsalis).
