Very sad to hear this news. Brock was a wonderful person to to have as a friend. I hadn't known him long when he threw a party in my honor at his New York apartment, to celebrate my winning a Grammy. Typical of Brock, he made up a guest list of film industry people who might benefit my career.
how lovely, christiern, that you have such special memories!
and mr. peters also put his "money where his mouth was," so to speak, by standing up and being counted in humanitarian, political and civil/human rights causes. a true gentleman, indeed.

i am so very sad to hear this news. i am also extremely fortunate to have seen this special man in person many times since he lived in los angeles for at least as long as i've been here (35+ years). mr. peters was talented and kind - a wonderful combination.
r.i.p., brock peters.

i, too, thought it was brilliant. a magnificent way to wrap it all up! i'm officially in mourning!

boy, what an influential, kind man to generations of musicians. he had, obviously, an enormous following in the los angeles area for decades. my ex-husband studied with him in the 70s. amazing that spud was able to continue being active until age 96! i saw him attending a jazz concert at cal state l.a. earlier this year.
r.i.p., spud murphy.

Frankie Dunlop didn't disappear after the 1960s. He was in the Lionel Hampton band in the late 1970s and was performing and recording into the 1980s but is now dead. I've never been able to get a firm date, though.
I'll see if I can find some more on Eddie Khan. The Social Security Death Index shows only *one* E. Khan but it's not him - born 1952.

frankie dunlop is not dead as of last year anyway. he's in a facility in new jersey.
unfortunately, eddie khan is definitely gone. can't remember exactly when though. i knew him in the 60s when he was playing in new york. he was warm, funny and, as you know, very talented. he did die from lung cancer. drummer, dick berk, was a very good friend of his and saw him while he was very ill.

would you believe that he used to live across the street from me in nyc?!?

(His wife dying in the TWA crash and his collecting all the insurance money, helped, especially with the hot new chick).
your post is ugly, vicious and malicious. and, last but not least, inaccurate! interesting that you don't even know what you're talking about!

I, for one, am very anxious to hear this latest Mingus Big Band release. It should be a stunner!
