I recognized Cramer's name, but had to refresh my memory on who he was--I read his DiMaggio book. There was all this controversy at the time, but it seemed believable and fair to me. (About the most scandalous revelation that I remember was DiMaggio's cheapness.) Unsettling scene of DiMaggio's agent getting him to sign stuff while on his deathbed.

January 29, 2013Butch Morris Dies at 65; Creator of ‘Conduction’By BEN RATLIFF
Butch Morris, who created a distinctive form of large-ensemble music built on collective improvisation that he single-handedly directed and shaped, died on Tuesday in Brooklyn. He was 65.
The cause was cancer, said Kim Smith, his publicist and friend. Mr. Morris, who lived in the East Village, died at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Fort Hamilton.
