- RIP Maurice Reedus 3/24/1930-8/18/2008: Maurice Reedus is best known as Robert Lockwood, Jr.'s longtime saxophonist. Word came from Mary Lockwood that Maurice left us on Monday, August 18, 2008 at 1:30pm in the Cleveland VA Hospital, after a long battle with cancer. His spare, jazz-tinged sax style was the perfect foil to Lockwood's stylized guitar, and that combination appeared over the years on classic Lockwood albums such as Contrasts, Does 12, and I Got To Find Me A WomanMaurice was associated with the . Lockwood sound for 35 years. His resume also includes work with Nancy Wilson, Jimmy Smith, Red Holloway, Hank Marr, Lou Rawls, and many others. There is more information and photos on Robert Lockwood, Jr.'s website, which you can see by clicking here, and then clicking on Maurice's name. Goodbye to a good man and a great player who was essential to that Robert Lockwood, Jr. sound that we loved.
