He was a pioneer in the free jazz "movement", and performed with many of the great jazz artists, from Ornette Coleman to Gary Peacock, Charlie Haden, Paul Motian...As the obit that I shared states, he was fearless! He was a huge influence on many modern pianists, Keith Jarrett in particular, and was a mentor and close of my friend Frank Kimbrough, one of the best of contemporary jazz pianists. RIP Paul Bley!

>>> Boulez was more widely loved as a conductor than as a composer, as his own music was a bit too difficult for most contemporary tastes. Perhaps opinion will catch up with him, as it did with Mahler (whose obituary in the Times focussed almost exclusively on his career as a conductor, with only a cursory mention of his symphonies).

Lemmy, of course though I find it interesting that many talk more about his lifestyle than about the music. same thing happens with Hawkwind--more articles about sex groupies than anything. and why motorhead is lumped and labelled heavy metal is beyond me--even the man himself said it was only r-n-r.
