Former Brotherhood of Breath, Mike Westbrook and Harry Miller's Isipingo saxophonist, Mike Osborne, died two days ago.  Not a well known sax player, but a much respected one within the jazz circuit.

A sad loss indeed.

In pace, requiescat, Mike Osborne. Cry

Important contributor to the belated release but revelatory 2005 album by John Surman Way Back When (originally recorded in 1969) - telling there was more than Nucleus and Soft Machine in the pioneering British jazz rock scene.

Yep, indeed there was.  Don't forgot Graham Collier Sextet either, featuring a certain John Marshall and Karl Jenkins in the lineup.  There's even an earlier version of Nucleus's (but Collier penned) "Lullabye for a Lonely Child" on the album I have by them (him).

I don't, unfortunately, have anything with Mike Osborne on.  Apparently he stopped playing saxophone in 1984, due to health issues.
