Terry Callier RIP
Posted by: bigball on 03 November 2012
Just caught the news that Terry Callier passed away in hospital this week. This is very sad news - another of the great talents of the past 40 years who is no longer with us .
Terry was re- discovered in the 90's having been around from the late 70's. He was coaxed out of life as a computer programmer by a British dj I believe.
His albums are all superb. A cross of jazz soul - Boz Scaggs is a reasonable comparison.
His music is a pleasure especially as quality of recordings is excellent. His live albums are also a pleasure.
A few weeks ago I noted that Fopp were selling some of his old stuff on vinyl - all good stuff .
If you aren't familiar with him I can recommend checking him out.
Terry - I for one will miss you
