Saxophonist Bob Feldman RIP

[clifford_thornton]

A bit overshadowed by other losses in April, but saxophonist and actor Bob Feldman passed on (I believe) April 8 at the age of 79. 

He wrote me a very nice letter when I reviewed his Triplicity CD with Walter Perkins -- was able to catch the band (post-Perkins) at Cornelia St., and Bob was a very kind man as well as being a fantastic player. Wish I'd had more opportunities or made the effort to seek him out when I moved back to NYC. He was a practicing Buddhist so I am sure he was already at peace, but hope his travels are safe.

RIP Bob.

Happened across his Triplicity CD. It’s very good. His tone seems pretty individual. Sorry that I’d not heard of Bob until his death. Clearly had something RIP
