Tony Oxley
waking up to the news that Tony Oxley has passed. one of the greatest masters of percussion to ever live. I was lucky enough to see two nights of duos of Oxley with Cecil Taylor many years ago, formative music experiences for me. the rarest mix of creativity and virtuosity. RIP pic.twitter.com/MeDH3mM7AC

RIP the incredible Tony Oxley. I was at this show at the Festival Hall in 2004 which opened with a dramatic 15 minute drum solo from Oxley, replete with his idiosyncratic cowbell scraping. Bill Dixon and Cecil Taylor joined him for some wild improvisations https://t.co/E7B8WMrvIV pic.twitter.com/Rdob45BOoc
