    Such sad news. He was an incredible musician and an integral part of one of the greatest bands of all time.

    Reminds me too much of how LeRoi Moore died a few years ago. Dave Matthews Band carried on, but it just hasn't been the same without him.

    I wonder how many bands of the 78s and 79s will come forward and admit they were inspired by his playing to include a sax in their music.
    Expand that all the way to the present. I don't think there's a rock band with a sax who hasn't taken some inspiration from the Big Man. RIP.
