Big Beat Steve Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Holger, you did not realize what kind of targeted put-on (but certainly without any harm intended) this was on the part of Hardbopjazz, did you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Jeez, only 60 years of age ... I think I saw him once with Frederic Rabold, but I'm not sure. Holger, do you know what caused his death? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holger, do you know what caused his death? No. He was seriously ill and died in a hospice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
