Subject : JEANNE LEE 1-29-1938 - 10-24-2000

I am sorry to report that the great JEANNE LEE has died Oct.24-2000 in

Tijuana,Mexico

In behalf of the Hampel-Lee-Family, with our daughter Cavana Lee-Hampel,son

Ruomi Lee Hampel, grandson Beleil and Jeanne"s daughter Naima Lee-Hazelton

we are at a great loss, my personal and musical unity journey with Jeanne

fromon 1967-2000 created not only Jazzhistory-making personal triumph and

masterpieces including worldwide performances in cocert halls, like the

Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center,Philharmonic Halls in

Berlin,Koeln,,.....concert tours in Canada,Usa,Europe,Israel,Rumania,North

Africa,Poland etc.great LPs and CDs but also the creation of Theater-pieces,

Dance-pieces,Poetry and music, workshops with and for

children,grownups,musicians,dancers Our Duo concerts let Dizzy Gillespie

remark : "You continue our great music there, where our horizon had ended,

you are the continuum, the new." Our GALAXIE DREAM BAND with Perry

Robinson,Mark Whitecage,Thomas Keyserling,Steve McCall a.o.is still

considered to be one of the most advanced musical concepts, the international

critic placed us in the category of the high energetic concepts of Sun

Ra,John Coltrane etc..Jeanne is one of a kind, as a person and as an artist,

her contribution to mankind is manifestated , noticed and celebrated. We are

influencing generations to come. I have tried to document as much as possible

of our timeless contributions to music and spiritual awareness in

publications on LPs,CDs,Books,Videos (BIRTH

RECORDS-www.gunterhampelmusic.de,GuntHampel@aol.com) on my and our beloved

Jeanne ,I had the favor to share love,feelings,understanding,care,spiritual

awareness,creativ work and cultural responsibilities, and an incredible sense

for all the injustice ruling our blue planet. 33 years of sharing life

together like this, becoming each other in the proceeding, she is the most

highly respected and beloved human, soul and spirit I have met on my 63 year

long pilgrimmage. To relate in words her greatness will be impossible for me,

but listening to the depth of her most human voice, her incredible timing, I

think she and Louis Armstrong have the best timing in Jazz,her poetry and her

music is the right thing to do to understand her and her contributions, she

made for all of us.

sincerly Gunter Hampel, Oct.27,2000
