[R. or V. Thompson]

Perhaps I missed it, but I don't recall seeing a posting about Dave Black's passing.  He was a versatile drummer who played with Duke Ellington's Orchestra and Bob Scobey's Frisco Jazz Band, among others.  He died at his home in Alameda, California, Dec. 4th of pancreatic cancer.  He was seventy-eight.
