I heard today that Peter Appleyard died, at 84. Do you know his work? He was a great vibraphone player who lived and played in the Toronto area for many years.

Here’s another video I’ve shared before in which Mr. Appleyard has an opportunity to rock out a little with the late Jane Vasey, the fantastic piano player in Downchild back in the day. I could play this video 100 times in a row. Just feel the joy.

And finally, here he is playing with Benny Goodman back in 73.
