Chuck Nessa Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 First time I noticed him on record was Harold Land's "the Fox". First time I heard him in person was with McCoy Tyner, Byard Lancaster and Eric Gravatt. The Tyner gig was in a Madison, WI bar around 1970. The band was taking no prisoners and Cecil Taylor was dancing all over the place! Bunches of history lost with that man. Quote
Kalo Posted May 24, 2007 Report Posted May 24, 2007 Very sad news, one of my favorites. Listen to the song "Verse" from Stick-Up for a text book lesson on how to vary the line depending on which soloist is up to the plate. Thanks for the suggestion, Shawn. I'll be spinning that soon. He was on a lot of excellent recordings. Too bad it takes his death to remind us... Quote
