Good afternoon I have often discussed the fact that we composers having had a
chance to record and release our music will remain immortal since there will
always be someone to listen to one of our works… Last week André Stordeur passed
away and he shall be remembered being the one who contributed to develop modular
synthesis in Belgium. A true experimenter, curious by nature, kind and eager to
pass on his knowledge ! Now I am highly PROUD to offer one hour of unreleased
music and emphasize that André Stordeur is forever immortal in our ears.
Jazz has been hit hard lately with those passing. Marsalis, Konitz, Pizzarelli, Tyner, Roney, Willner, and not mentioned above (that I saw) Jymie Merritt, Danny Ray Thompson, Peter Ecklund, Vic Juris, Freddie Rodriguez Sr., and now today it's been announced that both Henry Grimes and Giuseppi Logan have passed.
Matthew Seligman, original bass player for the Soft Boys and the Thompson Twins who later played with David Bowie, Thomas Dolby, and Bruce Woolley & The Camera Club. Dead at 64 of COVID-19.
I own a whole bunch of albums that he played on...
Florian Schneider — cofounder of German electronic-music pioneers Kraftwerk, one of the most influential music groups of the past 50 years — has died, a rep for the group confirms to Variety. He was 73.

This one gets me close to home for a variety of reasons. Saw them in 81 and 91 and the 81 gig was the first time I took a young lady along to a gig.
Just heard from another friend but no definitive report yet. A lovely man when I spoke to him briefly and with Louis Moholo Moholo responsible for the best gig I ever heard at The Vortex.
Eddie Gale (1941-2020) - worked and recorded with Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, Prince Lasha, and his own groups, including the powerful late '60s combo Ghetto Music.
Not the biggest fan of the British Blues Boom of the 60's - hated most of it in all honesty, but even so - Mr Green knew his stuff and played it much better than most.

P.S: All my support for Michael John Stordeur, his son, who made this tribute possible.

Very bad news indeed.

Interviewed just last week.
but will watch for a linkable one.
Linguistics probably paid more than music,
but I wish he had been more of a musical presence.
He did good tho - major playing on some solid albums.
I was just listening to him yesterday and this afternoon.
