colinmce Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 RIP. His Revelation albums are high, high up on my list of favorite recordings. The later hatOLOGY discs are also uniformly excellent. Glad he lived a long, full life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 A lot of really interesting work, and over a long time. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhoots Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 He was great. Saw / heard him at a club outside of San Diego a few years ago. Signed some CDs for me & played my request for Afternoon In Paris. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Just recently realize he had played on Zappa's The Grand Wazoo. I have a few things by him decades apart, seriously talented and underrecorded/underappriciated guy. RIP. 94 is a good run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stryker Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Wow. I had no idea he was still with us. A unique voice, and what a long and fascinating career. Note: There's a mistake in the obit -- the reference to "Gerald Clayton" should be in fact "Gerald Wilson." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 Damn! Sad news. I was just thinking about him yesterday as a matter of fact. The OAC oral history is a stupendous read. https://oac.cdlib.org/view?docId=hb8779p537;NAAN=13030&doc.view=frames&chunk.id=div00014&toc.depth=1&toc.id=&brand=oac4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
