Again, sad news to impart today courtesy of Pat Collins' posting on Facebook. Legendary trombonist, bandleader, composer and arranger Rob McConnell passed away yesterday in hospital after a period of failing health due to liver cancer. He was 75.The photo is from Makoto 2007 on flickr.com. I had photos like this too from that Canada Day concert - but they were accidentally erased in the Barbados....
The world is a better place for Rob's contributions with the world renowned Boss Brass and Tentets. He assembled some of the most amazing musicians in Canada and in fact anywhere. I'm glad I got to hear the Brass on Canada Day last year and that my brother Colin was part of the group.
