Hardbopjazz Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 There were a lot of musicians that left us this year. I want to make sure they all get remembered. Here are a few that come to mind. Horace Silver Joe Wilder Kenny Wheeler Frankie Dunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyhersom Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 see also https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz-Nekrolog_2014 From which Al Harewood, Dick Berk, Joe Bonner and Jackie Cain seem like names of particular interest to me that were not mentioned so far. I am largely unfamiliar with the European scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Some not already mentioned, some of whom haven't had (and deserve!) their own threads: Daniel Jackson, the saxophonist and composer who contributed many of the compositions as a precocious member of Lenny McBrowne and the 4 Souls. Charles Moore, the fiery trumpeter from Detroit who was a member of Kenn Cox's group on their excellent Blue Note albums. Ray Santisi, the highly respected educator and pianist who recorded with Donald Byrd and Serge Chaloff, and taught many of the modern giants of jazz piano. Chris White, bassist with Dizzy Gillespie and many others. He did some arrangements for the Eric Dolphy: Freedom of Sound festival this past summer. Milton Cardona, a prolific percussionist. Frank Strazzeri, whose tasteful playing and appreciation of obscure Great American Songbook tunes enriched many groups. Med Flory, the mastermind behind the fun Bird tribute band, Supersax.

clifford_thornton Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thollot, Gaslini and Avenel were major losses; I didn't realize Micheline Pelzer died too. I had thought both Doyle and Charles Moore passed in 2013. It's getting hard to keep track, which is depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeBop Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Herb Wong was a wonderful, warm man. I treasure his friendship. I remember going to KJAZ to do some volunteer work (shelving LPs, moving boxes) with Bob Houlehan and thinking "who's that guy?". My puzzlement only lasted a moment. "Ah, must be Herb Wong." And of course it was. So it goes with people on the radio (especially before the internet). Hip far beyond his appearance, IMO.

Caravan Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 when I met Dupree Bolton, many years ago, he was living on the street, and he said the only person who was helping him was Herb Wong. You met Dupree Bolton? Incredible! Where was that? Was he playing in the street or what? He was last seen in San Francisco in the 1980s, if I remember correctly (from reading "Gifted" in Granta magazine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
