        Holly $hit. This is just unbelievable! First Roy Hargrove, and now Wallace Roney. Youth is not invincible! And just when I had a theory that playing the trumpet would help be an asset to beating that disease. Man, this has really thrown me for a loop. Thanks Kehaulani for the update. Just blown away by this!

              A great loss to the Jazz community. Youth may not be invincible, but he was hardly young at 59. Still too young to leave us, though. I got to play one of his horns once, closest I ever got to seeing him, but I think he has a newish album out?was planning on looking it up.

              Daily players: Adams A1, A4LT, F2 flugel , CN1 cornet.

                He does. It is a tribute album to Miles.
