Jason Rae

A terrible discovery has been claimed to be located in an apartment in Leeds, UK. West Yorkshire police said it was a body of a man, supposedly 31 years old, previously arrested for controlled drug supply, released on police bail later. The body of Jason Rae went through inconclusive autopsy already, and more precise results of the toxicology tests are on their way and will be available shortly.

Jason Rae is a husband of the 29 year old Grammy Awards Winner, Corinne Bailey Rae, who shot to fame and acceptance about 2 years ago with her debut album, a self-titled one, with above the million copies sold across the US and spawned a hit, “Put your record on.” Corinne and Herbie Hancock shared a Grammy Award for Album of the Year, for Corinne’s contribution to his new releases “River: The Joni Letters.”

Rae was scheduled to perform with Haggis Horns on Sunday at HiFi Club in Leeds. He played saxophone in that band. Subsequently, the gig faced cancellation.

Jason and Corinne met at the local jazz club, where future Ms. Rae worked as a hat check girl. Afterwards, they fell in love and tied the knot in the year 2001.

Cinematic orchestra, Nightmares on Wax, Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson are among the bands Jason performed with.

So far, his record label did not make any public statements, but the rumors are – Jason died of drugs overdose. No matter what the toxicology test’s results are, the fans are going to miss the saxophonist of an eight piece breakbeat funk, soul and Afrobeat music band. Their style is easy to distinguish as the virtuosity they performed with is as highly remarkable as the same of trained jazz musicians. People who knew this band said that the member were hardworking and doing a great job playing their music.
