Henry Huff - what's the story?

[mjazzg]

Sitting listening to Ethnic Heritage Ensemble's 'Impressions' and hearing 'Light' Henry Huff's contributions makes me wonder what his story is.  According to Discogs he played on EHE's 'Three Gentleman From Chikago', the Shadow Vignettes album and Infinite Spirit Music's 'Live Without Fear', all of which I really rate.

Why no more recordings?  Nothing since 1988

Anyone know any more about him? A quick Google search brought up little of relevance

According to Wikipedia, he died in 1993.

Yes, I was more wondering why so few recordings. I guess illness might explain the 5 silent years depending on what caused his early death.

That scene was pretty alive still in the late 80s and he'd made an impact on the two EHE recordings. 

Also, somewhat telling that the only wiki entry is in Dutch. No entry in the English language version.

He's really good on that record. I thought the same.
