I just learned of Jean-Jacques' passing from his daughter Patricia.

Sad day. He was a great musician and humble man who created some of the world's happiest music. He will be missed.

Rest in peace, JJ.

Sad news, he really made the world a better place.

Once attended this demonstration where he showed some of the things he had done and how they were done, like that bumblebee thing .. I will always think back to that with great joy :-)

Rest in peace JJ.

I am so saddened by this news. He was a wonderful man. Read his biography. It starts with his family helping Jewish families in France during WWII and crosses continents and musical styles. He was a great force for light in a darkness-obsessed world.
