Jay Bennett: 1964 - 2009
Jay Bennett was famously ejected from Wilco shortly after the completion of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The events of that recording were filmed in I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, which remains one of the finist musical documentaries ever filmed.
Jay was also an immensely talented musician. His last solo albo was released on 'Rock Proper":http://www.rockproper.com/ as a free download. It was deeply personal, and quite wonderful to listen too. I was hoping for a solo tour.
It seems that won't happen. Jay passed away in his sleep on the weekend.
