Sad to hear of the death of Gerald Wilson. I've met Gerald on a few occasions at the LA jazz festival, the last time was May this year. My seat for the concert was next to Howard Ramsey he is 94 years old but great company. Just before Gerald's band was due to perform he joined Howard and me to talk about the old days!!!! I felt like a teenager among elder statesmen. Gerald had to be carried on stage and then turned to face the band. The band was hot that day, the best concert of the festival and my nomination for gig of the year.
Gerald you will be sadly missed.
