Sad day. He made a sound that was unmistakable.

Jon was an incredibly talented musician, and a nice guy into the bargain......

First saw him in action with Deep Purple Mk 3 in 1974.....

Very sad news.

[kiteless]

What awful news

Pivotal to the sound of DP, and recently a very accomplished classical composer (The Durham Concerto 2007).

The following is one of Jon's best (IMVHO), Lazy off "Made In Japan":

Sad News, RIP John, only saw him in the DP "Perfetc Strangers" tour,
but had "Made in Japan" as one of my first LPs and always liked the jazzy "Lazy" intro,
as well as the "Space Truckin" keyboard freakout.
