Fantastic player. Sad

Noooooo. The very player that got me into jazz and eclectic music way back when. His tonal compositions and airy jams were the sound I was looking for in music. I eventually graduated to straight ahead, bop, bossa, etc… kicking and screaming at the Berklee falculty all the way. RIP Mr. Towner
