[Stereojack]

A poster on rec.music.bluenote has announced that guitarist Bill DeArango passed away today. He was 87.

According to several encyclopedias he was born on September 20, 1921, so he was 84.

Another loss...

I hope the tracks he recorded for EmArcy in 1954 will be reissued.

according to the Farmer's Almanac he was born April 1, 1867 - that makes him 138 -

Back in vinyl days (1987 to be exact) they were reissued in Japan on an EmArcy album 'Renditions' (with uncredited original cover by Burt Goldblatt). It had the eight quartet sides with John Williams, Teddy Kotick and Art Mardigan plus the four sides with Don Joseph, Milt Gold and Al Cohn added.

Very nice date.

Sad to hear of de Arango passing!

I had that Japanese LP back in my vinyl days. Nice date indeed.
