Sad news.
RIP and thanks for the music.

This is very sad to read. While I didn't love everything Tippett did, when he hit it was a home run.
A classic for sure. RIP
Please don't ask questions, just use google.
Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.
I'm only here to reglaze my bathtub.
R.I.P. I loved his work on Lizard in particular.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.
Sad day, sad news!
Descanse en paz Maestro!!
Terrible news. Rest in peace, Keith.

An absolute genius. Some of his music was a bit beyond my comprehension perhaps but when his music clicked with me it was like being hit by a Tsunami.
I'm a huge fan and will really miss him. Many great albums and projects have benefited from his inventive playing and ideas. Although for most people he is probably known only as the guy who played piano with King Crimson, or even for bringing Centipede to life, I like him best in his albums Frames, A Loose Kite..., From Granite to Wind, and Nine Dances..., and in his collaborations with Elton Dean (Ninesense, Cruel but Fair) and the expatriated South African musicians who formed part in The Blue Notes. His first two albums are also excellent. A true genius is gone. Rest in peace.

Dedicated to you...
WANTED: Sig-worthy quote.
What he said.Originally Posted by arturs
The stuff he did with a piano in Crimson, to me, compares with what Roger McGuinn did with a 12-string in the Byrds. Bright, crisp, jingle-jangle, short notes.

Looking forward to my day in court.
Sad...
I love Dedicated to you, Frames, Ninesense, and of course his work with KC.
Was lucky enough to see him with the Dedication Orchestra, he was one of a kind.
Keith Tippett who appeared on In The Wake Of Poseidon, Lizard and Islands, has died aged 72. The pianist had been ill for some time though the cause of death has not been released. Tippett was invited to become a full-time member of King Crimson after his initial guest appearance on Poseidon but he declined the offer which would have involved Fripp and Tippett sharing an equal say in the band's musical direction.

I wish more people in the prog world were more aware of his music beyond King Crimson.
A very creative musician that deserves much more recognition.
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
RIP KT
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
Sad news. R.I.P.
The people who write these obituary articles title them to catch the eye of rock music fans. I personally enjoy Keith's work outside King Crimson.

A non-[prog] rock writer's appreciation of Keith Tippett:

(for anyone who doesn't know, Williams writes a nice blog called the Blue Moment)
A legend to all lovers of british adventurous music!
Nobody has mentioned that he also appeared on Pete Sinfield's "Still", so there ya go... RIP Keith. I'm going to check out some of the albums listed above. I have heard some solo work and used to have that Centipede LP.
Oh what a shame.
He really had an extraordinary career.
RIP
A unique musician whose influence on King Crimson was overwhelming. His form of piano madness fit perfectly with the anarchy and chaos within KC. One of my favorite non-Crimson outings with him was Low Flying Aircraft, a highly underrated prog album IMO. RIP
