ghost of miles Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Dan Bilawksy of JazzTimes just tweeted that Sammy Nestico has passed away. I'll post further confirmation if it becomes available. Quote
BillF Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 A great arranger! A great loss. Love all those Nestico-arranged late Basie albums! Quote
sgcim Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 A big blow to big bands. RIP, Sammy... Quote
AllenLowe Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 I played this arrangement in high school dance band. I always thought the opening riff sounded like Satin Doll. Pleasure to play: Quote
Justin V Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 I've seen many pictures of Sammy Nestico with a huge, radiant smile on his face. It's not surprising that his arrangements have an easygoing, joyful quality to them. Thank you for the music, Mr. Nestico, and rest in peace. Quote
