Awwww...I actually saw the World Saxophone Quartet back when I lived in NY in the 80's.....

This is sad to hear.....

(Dammit, only two of the Quartet are still alive...that is bizarre to consider...)

Are we sure about that?

 

[odsum25]

Yes - I heard from a couple of people who know him very well.

I saw the original WSQ a few times as well. They always lit it up.
