Bobadohshe Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I had a feeling this was coming because we hadn't heard anything for two years. How terrible! He was so great. I'm going to watch the Chick Corea 'Three Quartets' DVD from Rendezvous in New York now. One of his last great performances it would seem. Very SAD.

Dave Horne Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Sad. I read at one link where he was only 57 years old. I vaguely remember a story from a friend of mine who called him up (out of the blue) asking a question re a transcription. MB was most gracious and generous with his time and helped my friend out. I also learned from that link that he came from Philadelphia. No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message. In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzed Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I feel very lucky to have seen him perform (Directions in Music with Herbie Hancock and Roy Hargrove) shortly before he was diagnosed with MDS. It was a very memorable concert. Very sorry to hear this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
