[Dixielandjazz] Page Cavavaugh NY Times Obit

[JBruno868 at aol.com]

Yes, I went also many times to hear him and his  group when I was in the 
area. Very nice, old tunes but good musicians. They  played at the Sweet & Hot one 
year also.

I remember  that Jean and I used to go hear him frequently at a small 
room on Ventura  Blvd. in Studio City or VanNuys area in the 60's before 
I relocated to  Chicago. He had two 'bones, a bari sax, and full rhythm 
section and they  plated a lot of Ernie Wilkins. Neal Hefti numbers alla 
Basie - and all  were studio  guys that played the weekend gig with him 
when not  recording.  Simply perfect blend of horns and tasty piano, and 
the  "joint was jumpin" when they played.
There were a lot of heavy hitter  players in the audience and they were 
never disappointed.
I truly  admired his solo and ensemble work at that time. Had not heard 
much of him  since leaving the L.A. area, but those memories of that gig 
stick.
I  felt a little bit of my youth slip away when  read that obit here in a  
Michigan paper.
Pushing 78 makes me happy to see my oen name absent  from obits, but 
always sad to hear that other good players have left us.  They certainly 
made our time on this planet worth having good ears and a  sense of taste,
Happy New Year -- and let's all stick around for  awhile,eh!
