LouieB Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I guess someone needs to remark on his passing. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 It's kind of sad how, increasingly, next to nobody knows who these folks are. Bluesmen, too.I saw Pinetop Perkins a year before his passing, and it was in a tiny venue. Music has changed a lot in the last few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Sad news. I always loved the Phil and Quill album on Prestige. Didn't realize he had done the sax solo on Billy Joel's Just The Way You Are (or married Charlie Parker's widow, for that matter). The NYT had a good obit, written by Nate Chinen... RIP, indeed.

LouieB Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yea, Phil is one of the last of the Bebop generation for sure. When Sonny Rollins goes, that's going to be about it. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
