Stephen Griffith

I met Steve in the late-80s and I became one of his many friends. Later, we both pursued career changes and lost touch. But whenever I hear the name Cecil Taylor, I think of my friend. Over the River, Steve.

Steve and Teddy! My Horseshoe Lake companions. Very sad to learn of Steve & his wife Susan passing on . Steve made the walk around the lake always interesting with his clever observations on any subject. A charming and erudite person that my partner and I miss from our residence in Cleveland Heights. Ohio. Steve thoughtfully gave us a print made by his wife , Susan. We cherish this unique and colorful print, and have it prominently displayed by our front door. We have since relocated to...

For my college friend and roommate who earned the nickname Phantom, wore his feelings and emotions outwardly, and remained loyal for over 50 years. He was unique and will forever be Phantom to us

Steven you were a great friend a fount of knowledge about music books and practical wisdom you shared on line i will miss you dearly

To my dear friend, never met except in spirit, the man I knew as CH--you were a true gentleman, a gentleman and a scholar. Love in Christ, and God's blessings on your stricken family-- Laura (Catsmeat)

One of my oldest friends on the internet, Stephen had a great sense of humor and was a joy to know. Condolences to his family. God bless you, froend.

May you rest in peace and I too love John Coltrane and jazz. Thanks for all your support of the basketball team. Mark Edwards class of 1969 in varsity basketball player for 3 years.

To my friend Steve who taught me how to appreciate free jazz. I miss our monthly record and CD listening get togethers with Clemens and Danny. I attended many concerts with Steve and enjoyed a few craft beers along the way. He introduced me to his wife Susan and I learned to appreciate her work and acquire some of her photography. I considered them both good friends. To Heather and Jennifer although we never met I feel your loss. My condolences to you both and your families.
