- Description:
- Portrait of jazz singer and lyricist, Eddie Jefferson who was shot to death outside Bakers Keyboard Lounge in Detroit, Michigan. "The founder of vocalese (putting recorded solos to words), Eddie Jefferson did not have a great voice, but he was one of the top jazz singers, getting the maximum out of what he had, he started out working as a tap dancer, but by the late '40s was singing and writing lyrics," from AllMusic website. "In the early hours of Wednesday, May 9, 1979, jazz singer Eddie Jefferson was leaving Baker’s Keyboard Lounge, on Detroit’s north fringe, where he and his young partner, alto saxophonist Richie Cole, had just completed their opening night performance, Eddie may have had an ominous feeling, for he ended the set abruptly and called a cab. Jefferson, his road manager and a woman friend went outside; Cole and a fan followed soon after, an automobile parked in front of the club pulled up to the cab, the driver fired four shotgun blasts, one of which struck Eddie Jefferson in the chest, he staggered twenty-five feet and died, [Police later arrested 41-year-old Ameer Al-Meet Mujahiid, formerly William Perryman, a frustrated dancer and laid-off factory worker who had known Jefferson for about ten years in New York, but after a three-week trial, a jury brought in a verdict of not guilty], although the singer had been living in Queens, NY, he was buried in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, where he still had family," from Ira Steingroot’s liner notes for Prestige LP There I Go Again.
