New York times WWW site, viewed Sept. 23, 2019 (in obituary dated Sept. 23, 2019: Harold Mabern, a pianist, composer, recording artist and teacher whose richly harmonic, soul-inflected style made him a sought-after bandmate for some of jazz's premier musicians, died on Sept. 17 in New Jersey. He was 83. Starting in the 1960s, Mr. Mabern recorded more than two dozen albums as a bandleader, but he contributed to far more in bands led by luminaries like the trumpet player Lee Morgan, the guitarist Wes Montgomery and the vocalist Betty Carter. For nearly 40 years Mr. Mabern taught at William Paterson University in New Jersey. Harold Mabern Jr. was born in Memphis on March 20, 1936)
