Death

Could somebody please add that his wife Arja survived the accident (despite being thrown from the car), and that Berg was survived by two children

"Short period with Miles Davis"

edit

I have issues with the affirmation that Berg stayed in Miles Davis' band only "for a short period", which is somewhat derogatory, considering he played with Miles for 3 years, from 1984-1987, which is actually a lot longer than some of the other (also great) saxophonists that succeeded Bob, like Gary Thomas or Rick Margitza, who only stayed for a few months. Even Bill Evans, who preced Berg, stayed for a shorter period.

So I propose to change "the short period" to "from 1984 to 1987" as it is on french and german language Wikipedia pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.113.82.51 (talk) 17:57, 8 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
