the multi-instrumentalist jay bennett died unexpectedly yesterday. he was 45yo. his work in wilco during its crucial phase of creative breakthrough(beginning w/being there through yankee hotel foxtrot)was inimitable & grounded the sound of the band even as tweedy directed it into the creative stratosphere. he was a big presence in the film, i am trying to break your heart, not only because of his musicianship but because tweedy actually fired him on camera.
here he is w/tweedy during a happier moment in the film.
