this is sad. just saw him a few weeks ago, he played some trumpet songs in a parking lot for me and some buddies. he was a cool guy.

 

I think he was almost 8 yrs between album releases and the newest is being released this month. Pisser, very talented guy.

 

I heard this on the radio in the car this morning, very sad news. RIP Jeff.

I bet that was a pretty cool experience.

 

That's awesome.

 

My wife just told me this on MSN this morning. Damn, that is very sad. Our first real date was a Jeff Healey concert, and the first song at our wedding was his 'Angel Eyes'. You could say I was a fan. Still am. Crap.

 

I was saddened to hear about his death. A great loss for all of us.

 

i guess the only song i know of his was angel eyes. Man what a great song. One of my all time favorites. It saddens me of his loss as it is also our loss.

 

I highly recommend you pick up some of his work - he truly was incredible.

I've posted some pics that a friend of mine took a little while back at a concert Jeff did. You can see them here:

One of the best guitarists ever. I never got into his jazz music, but I'll have to pick some up and give it a listen. RIP, Jeff.
