Re: Frank Wess RIP
My heart is hurting.
WBGO has a lovely tribute on their blog page: http://www.wbgo.org/blog
They played a whole lot of Frank's music all day yesterday. He was sounding great up to the end. What a lot of wonderful music he left us.

sending you warm hugs, June, in memory of our wonderful Frank Wess. aside from all the obvious about his talents, I remember that even in his last years, he never lost his twinkling eyes, especially when an attractive woman came into his view!
