Gil Scott-Heron remembered in multimedia tribute at Bohemian Caverns - The Washington Post

Gil Scott-Heron remembered in multimedia tribute at Bohemian Caverns - The Washington Post: "Unpredictability was the one certainty when Gil Scott-Heron performed, former associates of the poet and musician recalled at “Pieces of a Man,” a Monday night tribute to him.

Remembered former Scott-Heron manager Bernard Jackson: “They would ask us, ‘What are you going to play tonight?’ And we’d say, ‘That’s why we came — to find out.’ ”
That’s also how it went at the ramshackle but heartfelt memorial to Scott-Heron, who died Friday at 62. There were some choppy transitions and occasional dead air during the nearly six-hour Bohemian Caverns event, but no one seemed to mind. After all, whenever the next act wasn’t quite ready, DJ Underdog (one of the evening’s organizers) would just spin a Scott-Heron track, which was both apt and moving."
