paul secor Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 In some ways, Cosimo Matassa was to New Orleans in the 1950's and 1960's what Rudy Van Gelder was to the New York scene at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Didn't know he was still alive...but no matter, this guy...whoa. RIP, life-changing music for me, and several generations/evolutions of it. "I didn't do anything to hurt it.". Exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
