Heard that Butch Warren,jazz bass player,passed away from lung cancer at age 74.Warren played/recorded with a host of jazz luminaries,including Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk,Dexter Gordon, Booker Ervin, Elmo Hope....on and on.He played on quite a few Blue Note sessions in the 60's,with Herbie Hancock,Jackie McLean,Joe Henderson Sonny Clark......Butch Warren had his problems with drugs, mental illness etc and was away from the music world for many years, but had recently made a comeback.I'll spin Dexter Gordon's cd "Go"! and Joe Henderson's "Page One" to remember Butch Warren.

RIP Butch Warren.
