Well said!!

Very sorry to hear this. Hadn't heard of him for years until his name appeared on the Wigan Jazz Festival schedule last summer. But, like G A Russell, I still picture him as a young guy, one of "Tubby Hayes' triplets", as a girlfriend of mine dubbed the three slim, sharply-suited, dark-haired young men (Jeff, Terry Shannon and Bill Eyden) who backed the more solidly-built leader at their regular sessions at Club 43 in Manchester around 1961.

I'm sure the majority of that particular lineup were with George Coleman's Octet when I saw them in London many years back (Strozier, Moore, Mabern for sure). Maybe recorded same tour? (1980-ish) Strong presence from the "Memphis Mafia" as celebrated here: Visit My Website
