Lol Coxhill's died. Another hero down …
The man was a jazz diva and one of the nicest people on the planet.
He'd famously jam with anyone, including me, but he was at his very best playing solo.
And yes, one urban myth at least is true: he WAS the inspiration for Joni's beautiful "For Free."
Our loss; Heaven's gain.

So sorry. He was wonderful!
That is so sad. He was amazing!
He certainly was.
That all too short ten minute clip pretty much covers the entire history of jazz styles and the speed his mind moves in coming up with and developing ideas is astonishing.
He was also a most humble and hilariously funny guy.
