Really sad to hear the terrible news that the mighty Jack Rose has died of a heart attack aged just 38. Arthur magazine plays tribute to this gifted musician who was one of the first to educate me that instrumental acoustic guitar albums could be dynamic and multifaceted. Check out his Two Originals of Jack Rose on VHF if you’ve never heard him and prepare to be astonished.
Unfortunately,I never got to see him perform live but I’ve always enjoyed his solo albums and admired his contribution to the more experimental drone/noise band Pelt.
Sincerest commiserations to the family and friends of this great man.
