Thanks for the info folks....
RIP
My favorite jazz drummer of all time.....

Oh, Lord.

The news that i was afraid of.

I knew it was a mistake to not go & see you when you were here over a year+1/2 ago...it even felt wrong ATT, too, & I didn't go with my gut, & I know better...

I'll miss you Elvin, & am truly grateful. It is with a heavy heart & a tear in my eye & yet also great joy for you that i write these words. Ditto. You are in a much better place now. Godspeed, & thank you so very much.

Also, I would be remiss...condolences, prayers, & deepest regards extend out to Keiko & your family.
