JSngry Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 Nope. Just what I think I've heard from others. Quote
bertrand Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 Last I heard, still alive but not well. I'll try to find out more from a local drummer who is his nephew. Bertrand. Quote
marcello Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) Last I heard, still alive but not well. I'll try to find out more from a local drummer who is his nephew. Bertrand. Nasar Abadey. Great guy and drummer. I knew his cousin Boyd Lee Dunlop and saw Nasar earlier this year in Baltimore. Edited December 7, 2006 by marcello Quote
JSngry Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 Not dead then, apparently. Wish he was well, though. Helluva drummer. Quote
ValerieB Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 Frankie was a wonderful drummer and a real character. Anyone know where he is? there was a thread about him not that long ago but i don't remember if it was here or at jazzcorner or allaboutjazz. the most recent news i've heard was that he continues to be at a facility in new jersey. i think his mental problems are worse than his medical problems. very sad.

mikeweil Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 Sorry to hear that - he always was one of my favourites. All the best to him! Quote
