This is sad to hear. All his great work with Stomu Yamashta and Brand X !  One of my favorites.

He was my grandmother's cousin's son. Therefore, one set of my great-great-grandparents were Morris Pert's great-grandparents.

As for the music, I've heard some of the albums of Brand X and Peter Gabriel that he played on.

he played with the Mike Oldfield band for a while.  I have a video from 1980 that I think he is in.  Sad

Mr.Pert was a awesome percussionist;and a hell of a very funny gifted human being...
This Los Angeles guitarist had the pleasure to hang and laugh with him(and Mr.Collins) and the Brand X crew backstage a few nights as they sold out 3 nights performing at The Roxy in Hollywood,southern California.

God protect your soul Mr.Pert forever!

He made Peter Gabriel's third album extra special.

He and Pierre Moerlen did some great work with Mike Oldfield - now they´re both gone. Two fantastic percussionists who will be missed.
