No. That is a punch in the gut.

Thank you, Mr. Haden, for a lifetime of music and innovation.

76 isn't old enough. That's a jazz pioneer that didn't make it; the end of an era for sure.

Sad news .... what a great talent !

 

[Joebone]

We've lost an international treasure. A major influence, well beyond just playing the bass...overall sensibility, and his ability to express so much humanity through his playing and his chosen settings within which to play. RIP.

 

[G On Bass]

A huge loss for the music world. I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing him in concert many years ago, and I still remember how amazing it was. Thank you for everything. RIP.

Charlie's sensitive bass playing was an inspiration. I'm glad we have recordings so his talent lives on. RIP

 

[Dr. Cheese]

I had the pleasure of seeing him play twice, meeting him after a show one time. He was a really nice man. Haden was a great example of a bassist as a composer and bandleader.
