I’m no aficionado, but man was he great. Died a few days ago, and not a peep here. So…”peep.”

I just found out last night.
I've long enjoyed his records with Eddie Harris, but had only just started to investigate beyond that (via a Rhino double-CD collection). He was awfully good.
Regarding the clip davey posted: Harris and trumpeter Benny Bailey had only just met McCann and his trio that day, and hadn't had a chance to rehearse with them (someone at the Montreux festival had suggested the match-up). You'd never know it by listening, and they got a hit album and single out of it.
