I confess that for some reason I never really got into his sound -- jazz flute and I just don't hit it off -- but he was a class act in a town without much class. yours, Peter T. |

Never got very much "jazz press" outta Toronto 'cause he was pretty respectable, earned a lot of money, and put taking care of his family high on his priority list, but the MUSICIANS knew. He'll be missed. Rick |

It was a nice track with a cool feel to it.I never heard of him since until today but it's good to know that he carried on in the business and earned respect R.I.P. |

He also played saxes sometimes, usually alto or soprano. RIP, Moe. Actually I'm looking for any CDs by the Boss Brass, if you have one, PM me. The one with "Porgy and Bess Suite" on it preferably...
