RIP Take Toriyama

Take Toriyama passed tragically earlier this week. There is an excellent post on Darcy James Argue's blog that has a great video of Take playing and other information. I never had the good fortune to meet or hear Take live, I'm sorry to say. I've heard him on record, though, and remember being blown away by his touch and uncanny musicality. New York's creative music community has lost an important contributor.
