Home Jazz Alley

From Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to the new greats of today, this is the place for Jazz!

Jazz lost two great people and two great players.

Seeing Jimmy Heath play and having my friend Keith Copeland introduce me to Jimmy made me wonder how that big sound came from such a small guy. Very humble and friendly man, very knowledgeable musician. Wow, what a career!

I met Claudio in Boston my last year at Berklee in 1970. There were several Brazilians at Berklee in those days, all very good players. Claudio was a standout. He was also a standout as a person. Loose, warm, funny guy. He played a number of times in my first NYC big band and always sounded great.

R.I.P.
