Ted O'Reilly Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 I've heard today of the passing of both these fine players, the great trombonist Benny Powell, and the joyful clarinetist Chuck Hedges. No further info yet... Quote
king ubu Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 Powell was great... love him with Basie, John Carter or Randy Weston - quite a range! r.i.p. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 Sad to hear. It's been a rough month for the corporeal in music. RIP. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Sad to hear this. They are all going. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 I've seen Benny Powell many times with Randy Weston's band. This is real sad news. Quote
sheldonm Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Heard and photographed them both just one time. Enjoyed both shows...sad to see them go:-) Quote
mikeweil Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Benny Powell was one of the greatest trombonists in jazz, IMHO - one of the most versatile, for sure. I will miss him. R.I.P. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 2, 2010 Report Posted July 2, 2010 Benny Powell was one of the greatest trombonists in jazz, IMHO Totally agree - the epitomy of mainstream trombone. Sorry to hear this sad news - RIP. Quote
