The double bassist from the classic Dave Brubeck quartet Eugene Wright has died. The official Brubeck Twitter feed broke the news earlier this evening in a series of tweets.

''We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of bassist Eugene Wright yesterday at the age of 97. Gene was the last surviving member of the 'classic' Dave Brubeck Quartet, and remained a good friend and honorary Uncle to the Brubeck family to the end,'' the messages begin.

Wright joined the group in 1958 becoming a permanent member a year later.

Further tweets on the Brubeck feed give more detail indicating that Wright ''left the Quartet in 1968 when Dave disbanded the group to pursue his career as a composer, but Gene performed with Dave off and on for many years afterwards, including the famous 1988 Joint State Dinner organized by President Reagan and Secretary Gorbachev in Moscow.'' […]

''We remember the challenges Gene and the Quartet had to undergo in order to play at segregated universities on their US tours in the early 1960s.''
