He was one of my favorite rhythm guitarists...
You could also hear his playing on many Ronnie Laws albums, as well as the Crusaders and George Duke...
Rest In Peace, Roland....

Does anyone have a news link confirming this?
Don't know if Wikipedia is much confirmation, but it states:

Thanks for taking the time to search that down. I've been looking for a valid news source and haven't been able to locate one.

It made me curious, since you've mention it | |

A little something he did with Tom Waits... "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Lets not forget that Roland Bautista was EWF's original lead guitarist BEFORE he left the band the first time and then replaced by Al KcKay. | |
