I can remember hearing Along Came Betty for the first time - its subtle groove and bebop hipness was infectious. I transcribed it and tried to convince everyone I worked with to play it, even on black-ties (with limited success). Benny Golson wrote it and he died at 95 a little over a month ago. He leaves Sonny Rollins with the distinction of being the last survivor of A Great Day in Harlem. Benny was a superb tenor player and that would have been enough to merit our attention to his passing. But his compositions take him to "Legend" status, compositions like Betty, I Remember Clifford, Stablemates and Killer Joe. He ascended in a relentless arc from DB New Star in 1957 to NEA Jazz Master in 1996, on to a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2004 and (finally) to the DownBeat Hall of Fame in 2018.  I remember Benny.
