Just knowing that he will not walk on the bandstand blowing or appearing again with me leaves a queasy emptiness. Lately, all i want to do is be around musicians, playing J-A-Z-Z, sitting in, talking, remembering..especially his staccato laugh that had a thousand meanings..and deep down hoping he will come walking through the door with his horn as usual. He played the kind of music i loved to sing...instrumentalist's tunes, bebop and swinging hard and then a blues you could go down home with. He was my friend, and he helped me grow from listening to him 22 years ago to playing with him more often this year that ever, and loving that "yeah" which was like a passing grade for your performance. One of the last things he told me on a break was how he was so surpised when he reluctantly went to hear a pop-Jazz artist at The Meyerson and was really surprised that he liked him, especially his scatting. He had a big smile and his eyes were sparkling as he spoke and that is how I will remember him. I will also miss my favorite tune he often played for me, "Dear Lord", now that he has graduated from this world. Thank you Marchel.
