RIP Wayman Tisdale 6/9/64 - 5/15/09


Basketball Player, Bass Man, Man of God, Wayman Tisdale dies at the age of 44 after a battle with cancer. In August 2008, Tisdale had part of his right leg amputated because of bone cancer.

The self taught bassist began his professional music career while playing for the Phoenix Suns. His debut album in 1995 was titled, POWER FORWARD. Since his retirement in 1997, he's hit Number 1 on Billboard's Contemporary Jazz charts several times. In 2002, he was awarded the Legacy Tribute Award by the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame.

CIRCUMSTANCE is my favorite song by Tisdale. It always made my dinner music and cool out playlists.

I pray God's blessings, comfort and peace to Waymon's family.



Thanks for nice dunks and funky play.
