New Orleans Nighcrawler, Kerry "Fatman" Hunter was killed in New Orleans early Wednesday morning after being hit by a drunk driver on Elysian Fields.
Though he won a Grammy for his work on the Nightcrawlers' "Atmosphere" record, I imagine few people outside of New Orleans know just how wonderful his playing was and just how wonderful he was as a human being.
"Atmosphere" features a song called "Fat Man." I dare you not to move to this groove. Just listen to Hunter on the snare and Caytanio Hingle on the bass drum work together.
This is a tremendous loss for the New Orleans community.

To quote the band at the very end..”Yeah, Hell Yeah…Fat Man Sounds Great!”
That said, his ending is soooo TRAGIC! Horrible loss of a super talented guy and life. RIP Fatman.
Yeah man, that grooves. He was great. I hope the Drunk Driver gets help, doesn't kill anyone else, and spends the rest of his life paying for his crime by living in his own guilty hell.
Falls under the world is not fair category. RIP Fatman Hunter.
Hurts like a mfer, all the way in Europe.
