One of the greatest jazz drummers in history. This one makes me REALLY sad. I loved his work and listened to him in high school religiously.

Oh man. What a bummer. I was just listening to Saxophone Colossus this morning and MARVELLING at Max's drumming.

What a loss...

It is a sad day.
I listen to Max & Dizzy. Trumpet and drums. No one else can do that.

RIP M.R.

Just saw this myself. That is very sad news. Hope he's got a really nice drum kit on a cloud somewhere.
