Temperley & Buster RIIIIP (Part 2): Duking It Out

As with many posts, I intend to do a follow up and with some of these much research is already done, butt far too often other things crop up and so the post never goes beyond a draft.  Such was the case with part 2 in regards to Temperley's 'timely' death.

Now however, things are different.  With Buster having died yesterday just two days after Temperley, both of whom played with the Duke Ellington Orchestra.

The research sitting in a draft consists of information (birth and/or death dates) taken from the wiki pages of those mentioned on Temperley's wiki page (see below).  And I even went so far as to investigating members of the bands mentioned, which when it came to Duke Ellingtons Orchestra, (what I found solely via his wiki page) was extensive, butt it was here that the inner twin world imbedded more profound clusters, one of them being a "May 14 (x4)" pattern-cluster-- that's 3 dates (births and/or deaths) occurring on May 14th, of course Sidney Bechet was born and died on May 14th (see highlighted in yellow below).  And by the way, TODAY is May 14!!
