Dan Morris, a long-term collaborator and one of my favorite musicians, passed away unexpectedly on December 21, 2007 at the age of 37. I'm still in shock and terribly depressed about his death, and I will truly miss Dan's unique perspective on music and life. For more on what happened, as well as beautiful tributes from his wife Marie, friends and fellow musicians, (including some thoughts of mine) please visit this page on Greg Burk's MetalJazz.com website.
