Yes indeed. I loved his great work with Archie Shepp and got to see him live once with a large band. A spectacular voice that never got it's due.

A great voice silenced...........

YES. Very sad news and we know how unsung Joe Lee was.

I will toast him and his greatness as a jazz artist and warrior in jazz.

He opened the 100-seat Ladies' Fort in a basement on Bond Street in Lower Manhattan, known as jazz lofts. He was a savior in NYC JAZZ and a kind soul. On top of that his voice was one I always loved and wished I could hear more of.

HE MADE IT TO THE NY TIMES ; God bless him!!
