There he goes, one of god's own prototypes.
« on: March 13, 2008, 07:01:35 AM »
Another jazz obit from Luci - Dennis Irwin, modern throwback jazz bassist, has passed away from liver failure as a result of cancer. He was a giant walking among men in his life, and a fixture in the New York music scene since the '70s. When he wasn't playing regular shows at the Vanguard over the last 30 years, he had played with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, where I first met him, Red Garland, and John Scofield throughout his seminal 90's prog-jazz work.

He died at age 56 - far too young, and far younger than me. Some things just ain't right.

R.I.P.

The New York Times obit
Dennis as he should be heard and remembered

He sounds like he was a cool dude.  Sad indeed.
