Jeffrey Scott Buckley (Scotty Moorhead) was born in Anaheim, CA November 17, 1966 to musicians Tim Buckley and Mary Guibert. Buckley died in a tragic drowning accident in Memphis, TN on May 29, 1997.

He had emerged in New York City’s avant-garde club scene in the 1990s as one of the most remarkable musical artists of his generation, acclaimed by audiences, critics, and fellow musicians alike. His first commercial recording, the four-song EP Live At Sin-é, was released in December 1993 on Columbia Records. The EP captured Buckley, accompanying himself on electric guitar, in a tiny coffeehouse in New York’s East Village, the neighborhood he’d made his home.

By the time of the EP’s release during the fall of 1993, Buckley had already entered the studio with Mick Grondahl (bass), Matt Johnson (drummer), and producer Andy Wallace and recorded seven original songs (including “Grace” and “Last Goodbye”) and three covers (among them Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”, Benjamin Britten’s “Corpus Christi Carol”) that comprised his debut album Grace. Guitarist Michael Tighe became a permanent member of Jeff Buckley’s ensemble and went on to co-write and perform on Grace’s “So Real” just prior to the release of the album.

In early 1994, not long after Live At Sin-é appeared in stores, Jeff Buckley toured clubs, lounges, and coffeehouses in North America as a solo artist from January 15-March 5 as well as in Europe from March 11-22.

yesterday evening

I just watched the Live in Chicago DVD in surround sound. Man, it felt awesome. He was funny...and amazing. It feels terrible to think that I will never be able to see or hear him perform live, absorbing everything with my own eyes and ears. He had so much talent and so much potential. Sometimes I wonder how some of the tracks on Sketches would've turned out, if only he had the chance to finish the album. His death was a big, big loss for everyone.

Ha dato così tanto alla musica, in così poco tempo, che mi dispiace veramente tantissimo, di aver perso un talento del genere, in un modo così stupido....

Laughing at someone because they're dead is a sure sign of a moron.
