sidewinder Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 So sorry to hear this sad news this morning. He was a wonderful musician and still playing superbly just a few years ago at Swanage when I last saw him with Kate Williams' group. If I remember rightly, he was also scheduled to appear there this Summer but due to illness this was sadly not to be. The Wellins/Tracey collaborations are his great legacy. RIP.

A Lark Ascending Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Very sad, indeed. A musician who has brought me endless pleasure since I first heard one of his records in the early 80s. One of those players with an immediately identifiable sound. Best known for his music in the 60s but he put out some great records in the last twenty years. Saw him several times - I especially treasure the memory of an Appleby performance caught on this disc: RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 His comeback in the late 70s/early 80s was one that I will always remember - very unexpected at the time and a huge personal victory. Also vividly featured in that 'Jazz Britannia' documentary where he came across as warm, witty and very wise. In person - just the same.

JohnS Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Sad news, doubly so as a friend spoke to him not too long ago in a supermarket and he seemed to be getting on well. He played at our club several times in recent years. He always put on a good show despite his dislike of electric keyboards, Sad news, doubly so as a friend spoke to him not too long ago in a supermarket and he seemed to be getting on well.

king ubu Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Very sad to hear this. Discovered his music a mere few years ago and have been intrigued ever since. A true master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
