today we lost our dear friend, rich jacobs. besides being a great artist and devoted dad, rich was also the most positive person on earth. whenever life got tough or weird, rich was the guy you called. he just looked at things differently. he could find the flow in everything. a perfect oakland sunset. the most unlistenable free jazz record. the perpetual leak that destroyed a bunch of stuff in the studio that we shared together. to rich, it was all the same, and worth celebrating ... we will miss him every day.
