Hey all,
   Las Vegas lost two more great jazz musicians this week -- yesterday there
were services for both Marv Koral (I tried to find his obit on the web but
unfortunately, I couldn't find it -- I read it in the paper but it's not
posted on the web apparently -- he had a long career with bands ike Benny
Goodman and since I've been here in Vegas he had Marv Koral & His
All-Stars -- featuring Carl Fontana until Carl died last year).
    And here's a link for Joe Mancuso's obit:

He'd been very active playing for Ruth Brown at Bootlegger's in Las Vegas
recently...
