Charlie Haden, a person of great touch and feel, incredible musicianship, political activism and countless collaboration had dies yesterday in the age of 76. I went and searched his name in Twitter to see what videos people shared, to get the idea of who was Charlie Haden to them, as their musical taste reflects. It’s a random list, not ‘most popular’ tracks, but it became a very fine list.



So here are ten of the many videos shared, including my pick as the 11th in the list. I also put them together in one playlist which is available here.

In his words: “When the bass stops, the bottom kind of drops out of everything”.

RIP Great musician.
