RIP, to a great bassist. I still remember seeing him dancing around with that percussion instrument he used to wear on his feet when he played with Clark Terry.

Whose album is "Impressions of a Patch of Blue"?

Oh, I just googled it. It was Walt Dickerson. Too bad he used Sun Ra on it. With the right pianist, it could've been a great LP.

Thats sad news.

I´ll always remember him, since I was very impressed by his playing when I saw and heard him with Archie Shepp in about 1979 (78 or 79). That was a helluva band, Shepp, Kessler, Cunningham and Clifford Jarvis......, the best he ever had.

I too wondered why I didn´t see him more, just that one gig with Shepp, but never forgot it. Really solid bass work.
