That is a shock!! He will surely be missed.
I remember seeing him play at a jazz club in Montreal, Quebec. I was very close and could see his hands. His hands and fingers were exactly like mine. They weren't longer or fatter or stronger, just black. I was thinking that his ability to play better then me had nothing to do with his fingers.
I have an album called Jimmy and Wes ("Wes" Montgomery), the dynamic duo. Love that album especially the tune called Ogd.
