Jeez. This is not the news I expected to see today. Wanted to catch him live some day. Only 49. Reports say cardiac arrest brought on by some sort of kidney disorder.

... brought on by drug abuse disorder.

I have to admit I never really connected with his records, but am reconsidering in view of how much other musicians I enjoy seem to have respected his musicianship. Played the second R.H. Factor album and the acoustic "Earfood" today. The later is pretty good, a follow up on second great quintet fare though, and that's just not what I feel like listening to all that often ... but his trumpet and flugelhorn playing is pretty wonderful throughout.
Es wollt ein meydlein grasen gan:
Fick mich, lieber Peter!
Und do die roten röslein stan:
Fick mich, lieber Peter!
Fick mich mehr, du hast dein ehr.
Kannstu nit, ich wills dich lern.
Fick mich, lieber Peter!
