He took wonderful black-and-white photographs of jazz greats and local luminaries in the clubs. He was Oregon correspondent for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.downbeat.com\/\">Downbeat<\/a>. And he reviewed new releases on his own <a href=\"http:\/\/dickbogle.blogspot.com\/\">jazz blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bogle died this morning at age 79. Willamette Week&#8217;s Hank Stern has the story <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wweek.com\/news\/2010\/02\/25\/former-portland-city-commissioner-dick-bogle-dies\/\">here<\/a>, complete with excerpts from a short profile WW published in 2007. Bogle&#8217;s wife, the singer Nola Bogle, said the cause of death was congestive heart failure.<\/p>\n<p>Dick Bogle was one of those people of whom you can honestly say, this city is a better place because he lived here. I didn&#8217;t really know him, although I talked with him a few times. But I&#8217;ll miss knowing he&#8217;s around. I wish I knew where to find some of those jazz photos, so I could show you how he saw his city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: Stuart Tomlinson and Kimberly A.C.
