BillF Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Fine altoist in the tradition. Have followed his recording career back from recent leader albums with SteepleChase to Danny D'Imperio and Buddy Rich. Now listening to his latest: Edited April 6, 2021 by BillF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 So sorry to hear this. Seeing him live, he could really blow the doors off. My favorite recordings of his is this one (pay no attention to the cheesy fonts): COVID-19 claims another one. Please keep those masks on...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I don't know where, but his wife reported it. Here is his friend Walt Weiskopf's Facebook post (https://www.facebook.com/waltweiskopf/posts/172758144670976): "Dear friends, I am sorry to have to share that my great friend and mentor Andy Fusco passed away today. Andy taught me so much about life, about music, about jazz; and no one made me laugh harder. All of you who knew Andy knew the greatness of his heart and the purity of his artistry. Rest easy big man. We miss you." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
