    60 is far too young in this day and age…. RIP, sir.

    Top guitarist with a lighthearted, likable stage presence. He will be greatly missed.

    I’d enjoyed his playing with Krall, but his trio album with Benny Green, “These Are Soulful Days,” is one of my favorite jazz albums.
    RIP to an underrated master.
