The always brilliant Bob Dorough passed away on Monday (April 23). Among his many works, Bob composed and collaborated on "Blue Xmas (To Whom It May Concern)" with Miles Davis. Released in 1962, IIRC, "Blue Xmas" is a timeless classic of the season (albeit of the anti-Christmas variety) and, certainly at the time, one of the most unique. I'm just not up to doing full obits these days, but the least I can do is honor Bob by featuring "Blue Xmas", here. Miles provides some tasty notes and Bob provides the vocals.
