Related: About this forumAward-winning Bay Area musician killed after car gets stuck on train track
An award-winning musician and San Francisco State University lecturer was killed when his vehicle was struck by multiple trains, officials said.
Speights biography on the SF State School of Music site calls him a clear-toned, hard-driving alto sax player one of the Bay Areas most lively and lyrical exponents of straight-ahead, joyous jazz.
Speight has been in the U.S. since the early 90s, leading jazz programs first at Michigan State University and now at San Francisco State University, it goes on. But most importantly, Speight has been blowing the doors off of every joint lucky enough to have him on the bandstand.
