R.I.P Ronnie Cuber

Recommended Posts

Such a great player... I loved it when he came to Boston. I think the last time I saw him live was recorded and released as "Straight Street". I was lucky to catch the Mingus Big Band at the Time Cafe when Ronnie was in the band too,

RIP Ronnie. Thanks for the great memories.

BTW - the George Benson Columbia compilation, "The Essence of George Benson", has a lot of great Cuber playing on it. Probably the best compilation I ever bought (thanks Rob).

Always liked his playing -- I believe I reviewed one of his semi-recent CDs, Boplicity, for the New York City Jazz Record upon release. 

He was part of an interesting (probably ad-hoc) band with Chick Corea, Pete Yellin, Teddy Kotick, and Al Levitt that appeared on that weird Levitts family band LP for ESP-Disk'. The jazz components of that record are pretty good. The hippie kid stuff is not so much my cup of tea.

RIP.
