sidewinder Posted June 5 Report Share Posted June 5 RIP - I first became aware of him from the initial LP issue circa 1980 of Mobley's 'Slice of the Top' and being suitably impressed. Saw him about 20 years ago in Charles Tolliver's Big Band, where he was doubling bass trombone and tuba I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 I played the baritone horn in my high school band and when I first got into Jazz, I was surprised to find that there were bari horn players on a few dates. I was talking about it on-line somewhere and I got into a little e-mail exchange with Zawadi about it. I wish I had those e-mails but they are long gone. Looking back, there are so many e-mail exchanges I wished I kept, but I always treated e-mails as a temporary things & deleted them after reading them to save drive space.

felser Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Saving drive space was a thing back then, a necessary exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 (edited) I never put his birth name together with the photo below, until now. RIP (and hope people enjoy bonus of a Roland Alexander photo, who I see was mentioned as his steady partner in music in the obit linked above).
