Guest youmustbe Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 Dewey is in the hospital and has been for past week. Not sure what's wrong. Quote
Guy Berger Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 Oh shit. I hope he makes a quick recovery. Guy Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 Heard Dewey live only once, with the KJ American Quartet, and felt that none of his records did him justice in terms of toneor performance. Hope he's doing better soon... Quote
bertrand Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 I hope he makes a speedy recovery. Bertrand. Quote
mailman Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 I heard him last week with Randy Weston at Lincoln Center Out Of Doors (Billy Harper was also in the band) and he seemed ok. Hope it's nothing serious. Get well soon Dewey. Quote

fkimbrough Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) I just played with him at the Charlie Parker Festival in Tompkins Square Park last Sunday - he sounded great, but seemed a little detached, and arrived literally two minutes before time to hit. He played as well as ever, but hadn't returned a couple of calls I made to him since the gig - now I know why.....after a couple of phone calls I just found out he's in a coma........please remember him in your prayers.

Guest youmustbe Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 Liver failure...75 years old...I understand he went drinking after the Parker gig...he wasn't allowed to drink...I saw him Saturday night, he was looking good, but seemed a little tired of it all. Quote
sidewinder Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 Much love & hope sent out to a real voice of soul. Now's not the time to be checking out. I'll second that. Hope Dewey pulls through OK.. Quote
JSngry Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 ...75 years old...seemed a little tired of it all... Well, yeah. No doubt. Can't say that I can blame him. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 ...I just found out he's in a coma. Yikes! - a coma. I will certainly keep the man in my thoughts. Quote

Van Basten II Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 Man, i saw him last year with Pat Metheny and with his quartet and his gig was one of the highlights of the 2005 edition of the Montreal Jazz fest. Awful news. Quote
