[Dixielandjazz] Re: Phil Gomez

Hi:
Phil Gomez died sometime in the early to mid-1990s. He was living in Arizona, 
I believe, when we ran a cover story on him in May 1987. (That issue is out 
of print.) He was a subscriber, and we corresponded back and forth a bit. He 
was a very nice man and an excellent musician, and he was still playing at that 
time. I just checked with some of my favorite web sites for death information, 
but I wasn't able to ascertain his death date or cause of death, though I 
think it might have been cancer that did him in.

Does anyone know anything about the clarinet player Phil Gomez?  Tomorrow is 
his birthday.  He cut an interesting LP called "Dixieland Mambo" with a 
group called the Jazzbos, and I know he worked with Kid Ory, but that's all 
I know.

Infomation would be appreciated.
