Ken Dryden Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 I loved his recordings and his excellent autobiography. Somewhere I have his appearance on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz. I missed an opportunity to see him in our city with Dwike Mitchell, which I have long regretted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Sad news - RIP. I remember him mainly for his section playing on the Miles/Gil albums but also for those 60s/70s Mitchell/Ruff Duo recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
