There was a rumor he had passed away last fall but it proved false.

Sad to say this one appears true.

Rip.

One first artists to turn me on to jazz, in my early teens. It eventually led to me becoming a pro piano player myself. Don't know if this will play for non members, but it's a 57 minute mix of his music:
