More bad news, I'm afraid. The great free jazz saxophonist David S Ware has died aged only 62. He'd been very ill with kidney disease for some time.
More details, and some film of his band performing, at http://blogs.ottawacitizen.com/2012/...-david-s-ware/
The band in the clip is his regular working quartet, with Matthew Shipp on piano and William Parker on bass (the drummer changed over the years).

Hopefully it will help people look upon my music in a different light, to draw connections to the past and to see how it fits in the tradition. There’s a misunderstanding about the kind of music we play, that there’s no discipline, that anything goes. We’re fighting to dispel those myths. We’re like the Marines coming in to create a platform for the spirit of exploration and freedom in music
