That cat had one of the most smoothest voices in Jazz. A big loss.

I knew about it; I just never mentioned to you since I assumed *you*
knew about it -

Elson: "Hey Tony, did you hear that Tony Williams died?"

T-Bird: "That doesn't surprise me."

Hehe, just kidding man... :)

Seriously, I thought someone mentioned it on this list already...or was
it the Level 42 list?
Anyway, I believe he died of a heart attack, or other heart-related
ailment. There was even an obit in the L.A. Times last week I think.
