Sad to hear of his death. I saw him on the "Wired" tour in '76 with Jan Hammer. Awesome! I can't remember the bass players name, but he was awesome, too. Check out his CV, a major keystone in Rock history, no doubt. His style isn't for everybody, but I liked the Jazz/Blues/Rock fusion that was unique to him.

Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Funny you mention a bass player. People often claim Jimmy Page as being the best lead guitarist of all time. Most of those people don’t know that at one time Jimmy Page played bass behind Jeff Beck.
I was listening and watching Jeff Beck on the tube a while back. He was playing rock and he shifted into a famous Puccini aria from La Boheme, O Mio Babbino Caro. I couldn't believe it but sure as sh it he was playing the vocals. Blew me away.
