Only 56 years old. What a shame.
Rest in peace Victor.

56 wow...I've never heard of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Victor was one of my heroes of the Bass and jazz. I played bass in a jazz-fusion band and we did some Weather Report tunes. I saw them live at a jazz fest. Victor had great improvisational skills especially bass tapping and carried a bluesy style in his jazz that I so much like.
RIP Victor
A very bad year for musicians,
Rest Easy....
