Arranger, composer, conductor and cellist Paul Buckmaster passed away recently. He worked with David Bowie on 'Space Oddity' and it was from that song that Elton John requested him to work on his self titled album. Their collaboration work so well that they worked together through Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player.. They worked together sporadically after that. Loved most of their work together with my favorite being 'Have Mercy on the Criminal'.
Buckmaster worked many soundtracks plus a who's who of rock, including the Rolling Stones, Harry Nilsson, Miles Davis, Kitaro, Celine Dion and the list goes on.
RIP Mr Buckmaster and thanks for your music.
