Yes so sad. I remember picking up their debut album produced by Grover Washington Jr on my first trip to the states after hearing it blaring out of a record shop somewhere in Washington DC. Loved that album and Cedric played an alembic bass on that album. I think i will revist that album an relive my enjoyment of his playing. R.I.P.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

Thanks Jazzy,, as my memory serves, they were opening for Anita Baker, around 1986, I was told that show was phenomenal !!

Here they are in 1984 , Cedric is playing a B.C. Rich Mockingbird , the very Herbie Hancock-esqe , "Mount Airy Groove" !

That's sad news but I am grateful to learn about an amazing band from this.
