Rashied's brother Muhammad sat in for him in a performance with Charles Gayle and William Parker at the Newport Jazz Festival last Sunday. We were told Rashied had been ill and "just needed some more time to rest." As others have said, this is very sad news and my thoughts are with his family and friends.

I seem to recall that one of the members of this board is the host of a jazz show on WGBH-radio.
