[Trombone-l] Dave Wolpe

[LINDA LANDIS]

Absolutely, I agree. Like Nestico, I don’t think I ever played a Wolpe chart I didn’t find fun to play. He was a trombone player after all.  :-)

A great loss indeed.

That is such a loss to the musical community, perhaps not so much for the very top tier artists and bands, but Wolpe has had an incalculable influence on gigging big bands, weekend warriors, and school bands.  He had such a talent for very interesting arrangements that weren't really dumbed down, but very playable by most bands.
