Old Corps Guy Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) We lost a great composer/arranger this past Sunday. I continue to play his arrangements to this day with the "Loudoun Jazz Ensemble" here in Virginia. I look forward to our next rehearsals/gigs where we will continue to keep his music alive for generations to come. RIP Sammy Paul W.

Lance Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I've played so many of his arrangements in my life. Always a pleasure. He'll be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
