A musician, composer, and improviser who is most dear to me. No other like him. I miss him so very much. His music and recordings will live on…. 🖤

I got to meet him 3 separate times twice in Seattle and once in Germany. He was so very kind and magnanimous but I knew exactly who he was as early as 17 in 77 when I bought Gnu High. Later in Seattle while in school studying jazz I got to hear him with the Dave Holland sextet with Steve Coleman and Marvin Smitty Smith I think. But he was legendary amongst all of us who loved post Shorter writing and playing. But he was a brilliant free player too as he proved with Anthony Braxton. He's so genuine and unassuming. One must love this phenomenal spirit.

I consider myself hugely fortunate to witness Kenny play on a few occasions. Apart from being a great virtuoso and composer he was just so self effacing and such a gent. Maybe he sought out Britain because it fitted his personality.

His album Still Waters is still something I listen to regularly. Great player!

About his initial free playing on the Continent it was funny when he said I'd been playing for awhile before they even knew I could play on a chord😂..funny because He's one of the most advanced harmonic writers and improvisers
