[Dennis Gonzalez]

Sad news from Detroit...the legendary saxophonist was found dead in his home today.

More news as it is revealed.

Dennis, your thread was first, but see this other thread, in which you appear:

Faruq Z. Bey, R.I.P.

I didn't know his work, but I'm sorry that you and we lost him.

R.I.P.

Very strange, this occurence. Today I sold the last copy of "Hymn for Tomasz Stanko", a CD I recorded with Faruq and Northwoods Improvisers; today it officially went out of print; today Faruq Z. Bey passed away at age 70.
