One of the greats...

Aw man, that is sad. RIP to a real legen. I'm gonna bust out my copy of "Interstellar Space" as a tribute.

OH NO! Awe man. That's sad. He truly was a legend as Melly said. An incrdible musician and fwd thinker/inspirer. Wow.

WTF. i just downloaded a DVD from Dime not knowing this. 2009 has been a really sad year for music.
RIP

One of my major influences, he will be missed.

RIP Rashied

:( uff

NO
He was one of the reasons I started to PLAY drums at the first place.
it was one of my favorite gigs ever when his quintet were at the Tampere Jazz Happening 2007.
Fuck

terrible news. :(

Sad news. I've missed several chances to see him. I'm regretting it a lot right now.

Sad news!
Interstellar space is one of my favorite records!

same here. and THE record that got me into free jazz stuff.

And OF COURSE, mainstream U.S. news media -TV, specifically-, just won't give a flying fuck about their own country's true artists. Yesterday, the BBC dedicated a note to Les Paul and even showed a bit of an awesome Neil Young clip playing a Gibson LP. CNN? Nothing, as always. Virtually every one of those awesome pro-shot DVDs we get from Dime (nightly talk shows excluded) are European broadcasts. Anderson Cooper and his team of bimbos spend 9.7 billion hours a week on a flash-in-the-pan like Michael Jackson (sorry, that's what he was) and are absolutely oblivious of the real 20th Century giants. And AC is supposed to be the best shit out there. The FUCK.

INTERSTELLAR SPACE FOREVER.

Not sure if you're joking or not, but I wouldn't expect someone like Rashied Ali to get mass coverage like that, even if Les Paul didn't die on the same day.

I'm blaring this at 5:40 AM. Hope my neighbors are enjoying it.
