Obituaries: Woodstock Star Country Joe McDonald, Canadian Jazz Author Jack Chambers

This week we also acknowledge the passing of British blues boom architect Mike Vernon and blues guitar veteran Roy Bookbinder.

Jack (John Kenneth) Chambers, a Canadian professor and author who wrote acclaimed biographies of Miles Davis and Duke Ellington, died on March 2, at the age of 87.

According to his official obituary, "Jack left us on the eve of a lunar eclipse, 'round midnight, March 2, 2026, fighting to the end after a short bout with cancer."
