Kudos to Gunther Schuller

According to a little article (Library's living legend, November 29) in the Washington Times, the Library of Congress has named Gunther Schuller a Living Legend. The 80-year-old composer and performer will receive the award at the December 16 concert at the Library, by the Jupiter Quartet. Our Boston correspondent covered the GuSchu festivities in Boston earlier this month: see Frank's reports, Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Solid. Although they did mention him as "Saxman Gunther Schuller" - he played french horn. Don't worry, Charles, I already put a pox on their house.
