RIP.  Impressive discography (show below from Wikipedia, ranges from Sonny Stitt to Alan Shorter), and never disappointed to my ears:

Notable omissions at the first glance .... :

Al Haig Trio "Blue Manhattan" (Bopland/Interplay)                      1984

Michel Sardaby Trio "Night In Paris" (Universal France)             2004

Both excellent ....

R.I.P.

1965 he recorded with the Marion Brown Quartet http://discog.piezoelektric.org/marionbrown/r/marionbrownquartet.html

I met him with the project "We Remember Clifford" at the Göttingen Jazzfestival in 2006: Benny Golson (ts, ld), Philip Harper (tp), Eddie Henderson (tp), Kirk Lightsey (p), Reggie Johnson (b), Stephen McCraven (dr)

That's sad. I was listening to that first Marion Brown ESP yesterday afternoon. The bass parts really stand out.

So was I.

First time I'd done so for a couple of years. I always spot the bass solo not only because of it's musicality but also because my LP gets a bit crackly at that point and I always think I need to upgrade.

Another great loss, as evidenced not least by felser's list up thread
