Another well-regarded session guy who was little known to the public.

RIP

I was first introduced to him via Brand X's "Product"  and "Do They Hurt?" albums. Great, great player. RIP

Very sad.  A couple years ago Kate Bush's live "Before the Dawn" set was my most-listened album. He plays great with Omar Hakim on that.
