Ugh, most terrible news!!!

A giant, he will be missed.

[Pim]

RIP! He was great. And he was still active as far as I know

[felser]

RIP, he made fascinating music.

[optatio]

What a loss - his hometown Göttingen mourns with the whole jazz community - R.I.P.

[Rabshakeh]

Sad news. A ripe age and full life, and so many great records. 

[mjazzg]

Very sad but he made it to a good age and left a great recorded legacy.

I always feel his contribution is generally underappreciated. But not in this house.
