He was mastering engineer/tape historian for Fantasy Studios and remastered tons of OJCs. But that's just the tip of the iceberg careerwise.
His passing was perhaps avoidable. Story is linked below.

SF State Lecturer, Jazz Musician Killed in Burlingame Train Crash – NBC Bay Area
Apples and oranges. Highly doubt the Lighthouse set will be reprinted in LP form. The CD version, yes. But hey, if a repress of the vinyl shows up next week, I'll gladly eat my words. Given the current pressing plant issues with vinyl, I don't see it happening.
BN site now sold out of the vinyl edition. That was quick. Don't think popmarket, amazon or similar places are going to get any more considering there are only 2K made. Now, it's probably gonna go for ridiculous prices from the usual suspects.
Looks like 8 of the Mosaics are still available. The prices aren't too shabby at all. Cheaper than when I bought some of the boxes from promotion sales directly from Mosaic or FleeceBay.

Has anyone else seen this Hulu film? It is a bit of a mess direction wise, but R&B singer Audra Day does a fine job as Lady Day,.
Eulis Cathey passed on April 27. Many of you may know him from his time at SiriusXM & WBGO among his various other endeavors in the jazz community.

Remembering Malcolm Cecil, Synth Pioneer and Stevie Wonder Producer - NYS Music
Sort of "old" news as Cecil passed away earlier this week, but didn't see a thread on it. Man, I need to check out those Expanding Head Band albums.
