I'll be darn, Silver Spring MD, 15 minutes from where I live in DC.

Clealy I love the stuff he did with Tyrone Washington, but those 2(?) longer German modern big band tracks are fantastic as well, also from the Brains on Fire stuff (iirc).

RIP.

He had a very unique vision, and he seemed to get the players he hired onboard with it. I very much appreciate both him and them for that.

RIP, and the fullest props extended.

I still have 'Brains On Fire' laying around somewhere.RIP

I had no idea he lived near me. I thought he was in Germany.

Thad Jones, George Adams, George Lewis, Stanley Cowell, Reggie Workman, Lennie White, Michael Cuscuna...and Heiner Stadler getting them all on board with a concept that none of them chould have played on their own.

And let us not forget this one, perhaps DeeDee Bridgwater's finest moment, all things considered.

Had that Tribute to M & B thing and gave it to a musician who I thought might better appreciate than I, not my cuppa but I totally admire the ambition.

RIP. Interesting character and I'm glad for the work, even if I didn't totally connect with it.

I think "A Tribute To Monk And Bird" is a brilliant piece of work!

R.I.P.
