rostasi Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 I have word from a friend in Tokyo that Masahiko Togashi passed away yesterday. More information to come as it's released... http://jazz.discogs.com/artist/Masahiko+Togashi (strange co-incidence for me: I was listening to Lacy's The Wire just last night of which he plays on "The Owl") Quote
clifford_thornton Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Whoa... sad news. RIP. I'll be spinning We Now Create tonight, it looks like... Quote
ep1str0phy Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Sad news--I've been a fan of his playing. Maybe I'll spin The Wire, too... RIP. Quote
Guest donald petersen Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 my g_d....the "session in paris" material is very excellent also! Quote
paul secor Posted August 23, 2007 Report Posted August 23, 2007 Terrible news! Too many coincidences - I was just listening to Bura-Bura this afternoon - w. Lacy, Cherry, and Holland. Masahiko Togashi was a wonderful musician, and, like many others, overlooked by most of the jazz audience. Thanks, Mr. Togashi, for all of the great music. You'll be missed and remembered. Quote
rostasi Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Posted August 23, 2007 Still haven't heard any details, but it's not quite 7AM in Tokyo now, so maybe I will later tonight. All I could find was this German(?!) Wikipedia entry that shows date of death: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masahiko_Togashi Quote
