Legendary jazz bassist Ray Brown has died. Friend and fellow bassist John Clayton says Brown died in his sleep Tuesday in Indianapolis where he was concluding the U.S. leg of a tour. Clayton says Brown had played golf earlier in the day and went to take an afternoon nap. When he did not show up to perform, a bandmate went to his hotel where his body was found in his room.
