RIP to one of the greats. He had been really ill for years.
Interesting that he lived in the same house he grew up in in Philly.
Financially, he was pretty low.
Some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world like Jimmy Bruno, Martino, etc. are flat broke. This may be their own fault for not planning financially.
Bruno seems to have just lived month-to-month. Probably never made a lot.
Martino's health problems must have been devastating financially.
