Wayne Henderson, trombonist for The Crusaders, has passed away. Yours truly has much respect for the work he did as a part of that band, that he founded, along with tenor saxophonist Wilton Felder, keyboardist Joe Sample, and drummer, Stix Hooper. Much of their material, has been blogged here.

A great band to be sure, and pioneers in jazz funk and jazz fusion. Rest In Peace, Wayne Henderson.
