According to the German WIKI entry, he was 71 years old. Here's a google translation of the entry: Steve Ellington (* July 26 1941 in Atlanta ) is an American drummer of modern jazz , the important other drummers like Tony Williams , Billy Hart and Jack DeJohnette affected. Ellington had as a child piano and singing lessons. From the age of nine he turned self-taught the drums too. He played rhythm and blues , among others with Ray Charles. In 1961 he studied at the Boston Conservatory of Music. Since that time, he worked with Sam Rivers , on the albums he was involved several times, was another long-standing collaboration with Dave Holland . Ellington also worked with Donald Byrd , Freddie Hubbard , Billy Eckstine , Hampton Hawes , Rahsaan Roland Kirk , Michel Petrucciani and Maxine Sullivan . Only occasionally, he led his own groups. In the 1990s he worked primarily with the trio of Hal Galper , which on the album "Just Us" by Jerry Bergonzi was extended.
