I had heard he'd been playing at a club in Florida regularly until recently. Was planning on trying to go down and see him boo.

True legend. One day shy of 92 no less. Got a chance to see him about two years ago and even at 90 he was still sharp. RIP.

Instead of taking a minute of silence...how about we Take Five.

This hit me like a stack of bricks, this guy was an idol to me and my sax back in the high school band. Always used to joke and say "Awww, Dave 'Bro'beck is the Sax God." He will be sorely missed but he lead an eventful life.
