#juini booth

Uncle Juini is with us. In New Vague City, the jazz legend of Juini Booth is tojours vivant. — Nublu, NYC

💔 haven’t lost anyone so close for a while. As I sit here, bombarded with endless random memories, I find solace in the fact that ‘we have had a life-load of adventures’.. and most of it is on film! 🎞 Juini Booth was a giant of the bass. Some of his bands included an army of the best of the best; Art Blakey, Sun Ra, Tonny Williams, Gary Bartz, Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner, Freddie Hubbard, Chick Corea, Butch Morris, Ilhan Ersahin… He was more than a friend to me. In the early 2000s, I grew up as a budding musician under his caring guidance. He used to take me to Harlem to gigs and introduced me to other legends as the Kid Genius for my songs. I wrote an an awful lot of them in front of him as he cheered on during those endless lock-ins at Nublu into the morning. I implore you to dig into his catalogue. He was a legend. Now, I am truly gutted. My love and condolences to the @nublunyc family, to Ilhan without whom I would have never had the ride to where I am now. Uncle Juini will return in his own element and unparalleled charm to New Vague City which definitely is a public service for the documentation of the NY arts over the last two decades. JULY 12 021

Uncle Juini I miss you! — Nublu Basement, NVC

On the bass, the greater than sky my dear ‘Uncle’ Juini Booth keeping it hypnotic and anchoring that mad band.
