sidewinder Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Sad news, RIP. Just listening to his Kirk and Brown boxes recently. Exemplars at their time of release and still go-to sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Friedman Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I have been well aware for a long long time of "Boxman" and the many jazz albums he produced. Too bad the article did not put together a list of all the jazz albums he produced .He made an important contribution to the jazz scene over many years. R.I.P.

mikeweil Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Wasn't the Keynote LP box one of his projects? Anyway, one of the greatest box set producers. R.I.P., and many thanks for your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Friedman Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 After a brief check on my shelves, I saw that "Boxman" personally produced a number of Ray Bryant albums on the EmArcy label. I suspect he also produced a variety of other albums as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Seeing those boxes in the racks was an almost illicit thrill. And don't forget the magisterial Ben Webster Emarcy thing he did on just 2 LPs, that's one I could and did afford on the spot. RIP to a true artisan.

Chuck Nessa Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 While he was at Swing Journal he sent me a letter to say he was visiting the States and he wanted to interview me. Unfortunately I received the letter late (I had moved to Bloomington, IN) and could not meet him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
