RIP Tony Coe

My dear friend, the English clarinetist, saxophonist, composer Tony Coe has died. He played jazz clarinet and also Classical, having played with Boulez, Alan Hacker and other greats. He is also on the soundtrack of many, many films: Yentel and other Michel Legrand, Wladimir Cosma and Henry Mancini film scores. He had a life-long love for the music of Duke Ellington and was offered a job by both the Duke and Basie; jobs which he turned down because he didn't want to be permanently on the road. He was equally at home playing Poulenc, Brahms, Boulez, Indojazz fusions, bebop, Ellington..everything you can name. Rest in peace, Tony. I, as well as many other musicians, friends and admirers, will miss you so much.
