Wilco's Jay Bennett found dead

"Jay Bennett was a master in the recording studio, the type of talent who could pick up almost any instrument and make music on it. On stage, he could be a whirling, chain-smoking, dreadlocked dervish. As a key member of Wilco and a prolific artist and producer for other bands, Bennett had a reputation as a musical obsessive who chased perfection. He was in the middle of recording another solo album in Champaign when he died over the weekend at age 45" - Chicago Tribune
