Passed away at 77. A Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and all round New Orleans musical legend. One of my favourite pianists and I'm pretty gutted. 

Here's his performance of Such A Night with The Band from that wonderful film, The Last Waltz:

    And only a few days after his mate Leon Redbone.

    I watched The Last Waltz film just last night for the first time. Didn't know I'd wake up to find one of its stars had died.

    I was lucky enough to see him live at The Marquee in 1985. Great show in a great small venue.

    True legend of New Orleans music.

    RIP Mack

    A great loss. At least we can still go night tripping with his music.
