RIP Tony Randall and Elvin Jones
One was a star of a sitcom (you know the one about the anal neat freak and the slob) with a classic jazzy theme that anyone can hum. In all of my roommate situations, I have been known as the "Oscar" (i.e. the slob).
The other was the drummer for the John Coltrane Quartet at the height of its power. Elvin Jones' drum solo on 1964's "A Love Supreme" is not to be missed. In fact, Verbal Jazz regards "A Love Supreme" as one of the best musical recordings ever made, if not the best. Verbal Jazz did once see Elvin Jones at the Blue Note in NYC a few years ago.
