89 years old... I think I probably first became aware of him via the Miles Davis years but I really came to love his work with Weather Report. Still one of my favorite sax players and by all accounts a really great guy.

Ditto.I had Heavy Weather and listened to it a lot. I was a big fan of their sound, particularly Jaco Pastorius' bass work. Wayne was a serious musician who had a lot of influence on jazz and other forms of music. May he R.I.P.
It's amazing how many of the giants of music when I was young(er) are dropping like flies. I realize it's part of life but, man, it's hard to see day after day.Ditto.
As a metal guy, Heavy Weather changed the way I looked at music.
As a bass player, Jaco just blew my mind, but Wayne and also Joe were just killers.
A big loss, but I had no idea he was 89! He had a long life in any case.
Absolutely, had the album and the CD.RIP.
Black Market is one of my favorite albums of all time.
