Jeff Clyne, bassist of Isotope, Nucleus and Keith Tippett Group has died
and
Mick Abrahams of Jethro Tull and Blodwyn Pig has suffered a cardiac arrest and is not doing well.
RIP to Jeff and Best wishes to Mick ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Jeff Clyne, bassist with Nucleus, Gilgamesh and Isotope, died on the 16th. I shall try and play some Nucleus later. I wish I'd read about this earlier though.  Also, if someone has made a thread on this, then apologies, I have not been on P.A. in ages. -------------

Sad sad news, once again!
Our prog stars are not only getting older but also dying, according to the cruel laws of nature that define the standard of our decline and, ultimately, our disappearance after the brilliand sequence of the splendour of childhood, the glory of youth and the power of mature age.
Even though he wasn't a big celebrated star in te hworld of prog as, say, Rick Wright or Hugh Hopper, the death of Jeff Clyne means a great loss to the history of prog rock and related experimenal forms of rock and jazz. The relevance of his skill and color at bass and contrabass playing is there for everyoen to hear in the Nucleus albums, as well as teh debut albums from Gilgamesh and Isotope.
Funny though, he can now make some awesoem duets with fellow bass player Hugh Hopper, who in the earthly life replaced him in both Isotope and Gilgamesh. Now they can be simultaneous partners in music. With Pekka Pojola... what a bass trio!!!, those jams must be great beyond words.
Thank you for the music jeff.

Very familiar with Jeff's work with NUCLEUS and ISOTOPE. Very sad news. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I've just finished listening to his album
 when I read here that he passed. Remembering his brilliant playing on John Mayall's 'Turning point' and 'Empty rooms' albums; the echo of his unforgetable sax solo in 'California' will last forever.
In pace requiescat. ------------- 'Sundown,yellow moon, I replay the past I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast..... Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.' Bob Dylan |

I got to know of Jeff Clyne more through his band ' Turning Point '- a nice fusion ensemble with Pepi Lemer on vocals and some excellent sax work from David Tidball . A little known but really nice band . They feature on the Canterbury discography site 'calyx' if you're interested.
Just another loss this year we are all going to have to sadly endure. ------------- Looking still the same after all these years... mrgd |
