You may not know the name, but if you listen to just about ANY kind of music, you have heard this man play the tenor sax. I won't even attempt to list his accomplishments, he played with/for a lot of people. 57 years young.

He did tons of work with his brother, I believe his name is Randy. I first heard them in Bob James' recordings from the early 70's. RIP

Very sad indeed. He was a contemporary visionary.
He had just finished up a yet to be titled album a few weeks ago.
We also lost Alice Coltrane. Sad weekend for jazz

As a saxman myself, I have watched his illness over the last year with alot of interest. He was truly talented and wasn't afraid to lend those abilities so broadly acrossed many spectrums of music.
30 years of great stuff is out there with his mark clearly stamped on it.......R.I.P brother.HT Optoma HD25 LV on 80" DIY Screen, Anthem MRX 300 Receiver, Pioneer Elite BDP 51FD Polk CS350LS, Polk SDA1C, Polk FX300, Polk RT55, Dual EBS Adire Shiva 320watt tuned to 17hz, ICs-DIY Twisted Prs, Speaker-Raymond Cable

No I don't George. I think you sent the PM to "HearingImpaired," I'm hearingimpared. The other guy seems to have hit the road some time ago.
