Posted 3 Dec 2010 reading these lists always makes me very nervous. Who did I miss (and maybe that's why he won't return my call)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 4 Dec 2010 (edited) Eddie Higgins. And Walt Dickerson's been gone over two and a half years but I still feel it like yesterday. Edited 4 Dec 2010 by randyhersom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Dec 2010 I did not know - or remember, at least - that Valdo passed this year. On July 8th (born March 30, 1928). I haven't yet picked up his Savoy date, but I was intrigued by his playing on the Charlie Parker Montreal 1953 Uptown disc. I wanted to write him and find out whether he played anymore, but I never had the nerve. I still wish that I had dropped Bill DeArango a note about 7 years ago when I had the chance...

The Savoy LP rules. I'll have to grab that Uptown CD one of these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
