Mars Williams, saxophonist for Psychedelic Furs & The Waitresses, has died
Briefly

After being mentored by Anthony Braxton and Roscoe Mitchell of Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians, he eventually made his way to New York City in the late '70s just in time for the downtown jazz scene.
At the same time, he was also playing in rock bands and was a formative member of new wave greats The Waitresses, playing on all their classic records - including "I Know What Boys Like," "No Guilt," and "Christmas Wrapping" - through the band's breakup in 1983.
Williams also led fusion ensemble Liquid Soul since the '90s and over the years played with Ken Vandermark, Peter Brötzmann, Hal Russell, Billy Idol, the Power Station, Billy Squier, Massacre, Ministry, Die Warzau and many more.
