Tragic news. I have been a Riverside fan for a number of years and finally got to see them a few months ago on their recent U.S. tour. He was a fantastic player. If you're not familiar with Riverside you should check them out. Excellent band.
Sentimental choice - Ben Mink He did a fine job on the song Fan choice - J.D. He was just better live. If I were a betting man I'd stay away from this one... too many variables. I would prefer J.D. but I would have to think the heartstrings of the band will pull them towards Ben.
