Yeah, I had forgotten Kenny Wheeler was on Feels Good To Me, I became first acquainted with him for his ECM work.

R.I.P. Fantastic British producer and serious gentleman John Acock !!
John Acock co-produced nine of Steve Hackett’s solo albums.

http://www.allmusic.com/artist/john-acock-mn0000214613/credits


This is from a recent post from Yellow Shark Recording Studios in England:
It is with great sadness that we have to report that one of our regular engineers and producers,John Acock has died after losing his battle with cancer.
John was a very good friend to Yellow Shark having been involved in many of our best sessions,he was a gifted sound engineer and producer having worked with many great artists.
We shall miss his kindness and generosity of spirit greatly and would like to take this opportunity to wish his family our sincerest condolences and sympathy at this difficult time. Jeremy, Malaki and Diten


I am a lifelong Californian guitarist from Los Angeles.I was in a famous Swiss progressive rock band Flame Dream.
John produced,mixed our albums on Vertigo Records Phonogram.
John was such a lovely clever,dry humored gent I got to know working with him
in a little Swiss village outside of Luzern called Weggis;also a fantastic studio in Geneva,Switzerland where Flame Dream mostly recorded at owned by Swiss legendary keyboardist Patrick Moraz.
John was always soo inspirational and positive with me as a young 25 year old guitarist.
John was a great man I always loved and look up too that taught me soo many things;and I am truly sorry I will not see him ever again.
John always told me to never stop playing guitar.


R.I.P. John Acock.
Many thanks John for teaching me as a youth...!!

Nothing whatsoever to do with prog, but singer and actor Alvin Stardust (real name Bernard Jewry - aka Shane Fenton) has died at home aged 72 surrounded by family after being diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11182106/Alvin-Stardust-dies-after-short-illness.html.
 
He had been peforming as recently as last Saturday at the Regal Cinema in Evesham, Worcestershire, and had been working on a new studio album - his first in 30 years - due for release next month. The album, Alvin, was billed as “a complete departure” from his Seventies sound, featuring producers who had worked with Robbie Williams and Michael Buble, and the singer said recording it had been “the best time I’ve had in years”.

The release will go ahead as planned. His spokesman said: "It is an extraordinary record. We have been playing it to people over the last few weeks and they thought it was Johnny Cash or Glen Campbell. Nobody guess it was Alvin. It is fantastic.

 
RIP.

Sad sad about Jack Bruce. From his days with Cream to his early solo stuff (Things We Like, Songs For A Tailor) to his stuff with Carly Bley and beyond, he was one of the perfect bassists of our time. It feels like someone in my family has died.

Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

I'd been on a serious Jack Bruce kick for the past few years - I'd been hoping to catch a Jack Bruce show of any kind.....wot a musician!  He was a master bassist and sang like an angel.
 
I highly recommend the Spirit box set of BBC shows, especially the 1975 band with Carla Bley. 
 
Yeah, jammum, he's been on the turntable so often lately that I feel a personal loss. 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Agreed what a loss to music. The tribute that Clapton played at his funeral was moving.

I missed this one ... goodness.
 
All in all, and I enjoy The Doors as one of the best rock bands ever, I'm saddened to see this happen, but as is the norm these days (I'm almost 64), some of our best friends end up leaving us sooner or later, regardless of us liking them or not.
 
I thought he did great with the band, because Jim had the visions and the ideas and knew the road, but after Jim left us, Ray kinda lost most of these moments, and sadly enough, he turned down my being able to use 30 seconds of The Doors work, in an obscure moment from "an American Prayer" that no one plays, for a film. That, kinda killed the film for me, because the ending piece was the most important part of the whole film, and I had blown out the class and the professor with the film's visuals and it's choices of music and sound effects.
 
It's OK now, I'm not angry ... just saddened that some people can not understand a child's creation and inspiration, and they proceed to kill it, instead of helping it more. I would have gone on to do some videos for some Doors material, just for fun, and the one I wanted to do most of all ... "The Soft Parade". i wrote it down, and on that day I cried, I buried that script 6 ft under and that was that! Goodbye Doors and inspiration ... and I know who the real writer and poet was in the group ... Jim!
 
But your additions to the work was very nice indeed, Ray ... RIP!

I wish that folks here could listen to "Magico" and "Folk Songs" with Egberto Gismonti ... so they could appreciate what a great bass player we lost.
