One of the greatest musicians of our time. Not only was he a jazz pioneer, but he crafted links that drew many newcomers to jazz.

That's quite a loss.  I'm always sorry to see a visionary leave this world.

 RIP Joe.  The Weather Report had a HUGE influence on my play style.

I think my favorite thing he did was when he accidentally rewired his ARP 2600 so that the keyboard played backwards.  :-D Pure genius.

I agree with Nebu's sentiment, even if I didn't like Weather Report or modern jazz whatsoever. Need more talented artists, less money-grubbing douchebags.
