Yes, John will be missed. I was always amazed not only by his virtuosity, but by the breadth of his work. One of our favorite albums by him was "The New Possibility: Christmas Soli", found in mint condition for a buck in a Goodwill Store LP rack! It includes a 'swung' version of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' that blows the dust off that hoary holiday chestnut in a most invigorating way.

A gentle master, gone too soon. Journey well, John.
