Was lucky enough to see 3 WSP, 7 Dixie Dregs, and 4 Jazz is Dead shows with him on keys.
R.I.P.

I am kind of surprised how little there has been on the boards I frequent.
I met him at the first Jazz is Dead I saw and he was as humble and nice as could be. I can see how you\'re crushed since you knew him.

T Lavitz.  Keyboard player extraordinaire!  most famous for jazz is dead, WSP and Dixie Dregs but basically played with everyone.

Loved him, loved Dixie Dregs, JID,  Have some solo stuff too. Very sad to hear this.
