Alexander Hawkins Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Really gutted that Lol has gone...I never played with him at all regularly, but it was always an absolute honour to do so when it did happen. I did a number of freely improvised gigs with him, but probably my fondest memories are of a couple of gigs where we played standards...Lol had a sense of a tune like no-one else - he *knew* melody...a little bit like with Lacy (I don't mean to make a facile comparison simply based on the horn; and after all - Lol played plenty of others in earlier years) - he had a manner which was at once oblique and completely pared-down and direct. And a more down to earth guy you could not wish to meet. He's missed. Edited July 13, 2012 by Alexander Hawkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Looks like a great concert, Sidewinder/Chris, one that will really honour Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Looks like a great, indeed memorable, lineup. Too bad it is to be held mid-week though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
