mjazzg Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 LondonJazzNews and Gary Crosby both reporting this sad news. He made it to 100 and made some great music along the wayhttp://garycrosbybass.com/ Quote
BillF Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 Sorry to hear the news. Well remember him playing with Joe Harriott c.1960. Quote
sidewinder Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Sad news to come in from work to. What an inspiration and a stalwart on the UK scene he was. Some landmark recordings there with Joe Harriott and Michael Garrick. Great biography too in which he came across as a gem of a guy. Electrical Engineering's loss was British jazz's gain. RIP - I will spin 'Movement' tonight.Just recall that the last time I saw him was at the Ian Carr tribute, in the front row (he was introduced). Edited October 5, 2015 by sidewinder Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 RIP.That autobio is a great read: Quote
JSngry Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 I only know of him from his Joe Harriot stuff, but as with all the players who were involved in that thing, the courage and musicianship involved just to get it started, never mind to move it along, are inspirational.RIP Quote
