Read about this in the a.m. Thanks, Sans for the refresher though. Didn't know he played with Miles! Wow.
Sure. Don't think I knew about him and Miles, either, but it's not surprising. He was prodigious.Quote:

He was Roberta's godson. She even confirmed it on her IG account yesterday. The rumor that he was her son has taken on a life of its own ever since the New York Times misreported it 40 years ago in a joint concert review; the reporter must have misheard her. It may still be on their Wiki pages, which is a shame.Quote:

Well, this kind of wrecked my state of mind. I remember buying his debut record. He was only 17 years old and playing jazz piano. I hope his family and loved ones have enough pleasant memories to keep the thought of his passing from being all they think of during this time.
I still have his album "Nard" with him on the cover with his afro. Bread Sandwiches was one of my faves. Such a shame, way to young. I also heard it was a car accident. RIP.
I just heard "Who Do You Love" yesterday, now I know why. RIP.Quote:
