Yes very sad indeed Lance. I also saw Abram for the first time at the Spice of Life last August performing his music about Philippa Schuyler. I've followed him since, this is a terrible bolt from the blue.
I am totally stunned by this news. I had the pleasure of working with Abram on four occassions over the past ten years the final time being three weeks ago at Bishop Auckland Town Hall with the Durham County Youth Big Band. Abram had so much energy and time for not just the young people but also the tutors. His playing sparkled on that evening and he educated the performers and audience on the traditions of jazz with such passion. A truly inspirational performer and educator.
