randissimo Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I worked many gigs with Lyman and already miss him.. Not only a great and soulful player, but a very intelligent and witty guy. And he had a crazy sense of humor. Don't have any details yet..

Jim Alfredson Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Such a bummer. Last time Randy and I saw him was at the Detroit International Jazz Festival in 2007 after our set. He loved it and was very complimentary. He was always gracious and very kind to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Wow...too bad. Seems like with Waxpoetics issuing his highly acclaimed CD, he's now getting a lot of past due acclaim. Pete Fallico just posted an interview with him not long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalupa Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Wow. Just listening to the samples of Saturday Night Special on the Wax Poetics page. Amazing. Too bad he didn't get to see this re-issued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
