Truly a legend. I recall attending a "Jazz Summit" of masterclasses in the early 2000's and Bucky was one of the guests. A young man asked him, "what new writers do you like for songs?", to which Bucky replied, "You don't understand - all the great songs were already written in the 30's and 40's - we don't need any more".
