In questi giorni ricorre anche l'anniversario, il sesto, della scomparsa di Keith Tippett (25 agosto 1947 - 14 giugno 2020): ne scrivono con affetto e grande ammirazione Chris Searle (su Morning Star) e Mark McKergow (in All About Jazz) nel recensire il volume biografico Mujician realizzato da Martin Phillips per Jazz in Britain.
Così Searle in 'A Bristolian genius of the keys': "Phillips’s biography is a work of love and deep admiration for a great musician, but it also expresses an intimate understanding of Tippett’s artistry and pedagogical commitment. It includes a photograph of them both walking along the riverside in Budapest. The author had set up a cultural exchange in the Hungarian city of Pecs between young Hungarian and Devonian musicians, with Tippett’s teaching as its focus. Music and education were entwined in Tippett’s life, and as Phillips tells us, he has left much for those who follow. Tippett’s influence is manifold and rare across many soundscapes, but in all his pursuits he pledged to his listeners: “May music never become just another way of making money! - with the key word ‘just’!” He was full of warmth and brotherliness, a feeling I still sense beneath his every recorded note."
