Fats Sadi RIP


Recommended Posts

Per the obit:-

"He worked with several well-known Belgian jazzmen in Liège and Brussels, including the guitarist René Thomas, and the trumpeter Gus Deloof, before settling in Paris where he became a regular musical partner of the saxophonist Bobby Jaspar. "

Cool. Thank you. That would make sense. Some good players there..............

Surprised it took one month for this sad news to appear on this forum.

News of his death was announced on the internet a couple of days after he died!

I would have missed it myself Brownie but for a chance viewing of that "Times" obituary.

PS - You are like the Gandalf of the Org board !

For some good footage of the man in action on both vibes and congas, the CBBB 'Live In Prague' DVD is recommended. Great to see him in tandem with Kenny Clarke, Jimmy Woode and Francy Boland.

Anyone got a spare copy of that nice SABA LP?

I think Belgians must have soul.

Percy France told me a funny story about Jimmy Woode, something about he couldn´t pay his hotel bill and, though everyone loved him, he had to be thrown out of his room finally. The next day someone saw him sleeping in the lobby.
