I have fond memories of hearing him with Woody Herman at Newcastle City Hall in the mid-sixties as well as on record with the Clarke-Boland Band. Truly one of the greats.
He was 91. The man may be gone but the music lives on. Lance

Fond memories of hearing Dusko Goykovich with the Sid Warren Quintet at the Corner House, Newcastle in 1988.
Sad news. He played a gig at a pub called the Ash, Reddish near Stockport alongside Gianni
Basso the great Italian tenorman. At the interval they came to my table and I had a short chat with Dusko. I told him I enjoyed his Bass Blues a tune that I used to play on occasion. It was a great gig but hardly any audience. That was a good jazz venue while it lasted. I think the pub is still there.
