We have lost two more renowned Jazz bassists

[Bilbo]

Today I received word that both Charnett Moffett and Peter Warren have passed away. Moffett was one of the stalwarts of the scene around the 1980s Marsalis thing (Wynton and Branford Marsalis, Donald Brown, Kevin Eubanks, Mulgrew Miller etc  whilst Peter Warren performed and recorded with Jack De Johnette, David Izenson, Chick Corea, John Surman and a host of others. Their Wikipedia pages are linked below. Moffett died of a heart attack aged 54 whilst I am unaware of Warren's cause of death (he was in his later 80s)

I liked Moffett’s playing, he was great on both upright and electric bass. A friend just linked to this album on Bandcamp. I’m listening to it right now.

Thats especially sad about CM, too young. I remember being blown away by his technical abilities when I was buying a Kolstein Busetto bass.
