Rip Pharoah Sanders. I discovered som of his jazz records from the 60's and 70's just a couple of months ago. I really liked his music.
Sanders was a giant. The man was a master, who could instantly turn from the melodic to the cacophonic, but in everything, demonstrated a deep spirituality. His work with Leon Thomas highlighted that, for sure. His rendering of Coltrane's Equinox was truly breathtaking.

Coolio died Wednesday in Los Angeles ... TMZ has learned.
The rapper who achieved enormous success in the 90s was visiting a friend late Wednesday afternoon when he passed away.
Coolio's longtime manager, Jarez, says Coolio went to the bathroom at his friend's house, but when he didn't come out after a while ... the friend kept calling for him, and eventually went in and found Coolio laying on the floor.
Still remember and often play his "Too Hot" as one of the very first story-telling MTV videos 40 yes ago regarding fast sex and AIDS, good lyrics and social criticism... RIP.
i wonder why the media goes straight to violence/ drugs as the story when a rapper dies...Damn...
RIP.
