Sad news indeed. I saw Dill Katz with "Paraphernalia" back in the late seventies/early eighties. I saw him again with "District Six" at Washington (D.C.) Arts Centre - ironically at around the time Washington exchanged numbered "Districts" for named communities.
I remember Dill at the back of the band - his stage persona was indeed that of an extremely cool cat!
It was good to see BSH marking Dill Katz's passing. I can solve one mystery of the photo for you. The bass guitarist is Chucho Merchan, who went on to play with Sunwind and the Eurythmics.
Dill did play with Nucleus in Newcastle, in 1987 (May, I think), so if you have any photos of that gig, he'll maybe be in them. I can't remember the name of the venue but it was a theatre.
I'm not sure about the rest of the band in the photo. Ian Carr (obviously) is on trumpet and NIc France is on drums. Might be Brian Smith on sax. Geoff Castle was the keyboardist in the band at the time Chucho and Nic were there, so that might be him.
I think of Dill every time I have Singapore noodles because he introduced me to them.
Oops! D.C. (obviously) in this case means Durham County...
Nucleus also appeared at Darlington Arts Centre on 13 May 1987 with Phil Todd, Mark Wood, John Marshall and Dill; presumably the same tour and line-up as the Newcastle date.
Dill may also have appeared at Darlington Arts Centre on 19 February 1986 with Munch Manship; on 5 March 1986 with District 6; 26 March 1986 with Gary Boyle and John Etheridge and finally here with again with District 6 on 11 March 1987.
I also saw him with the Ian Carr Group at the Corner House, Newcastle on 6 October 1991 (when the Jazz North East commission North East Song lines was performed). My notes show the line up was similar to the 1987 date but I wonder now if that was likely.
There's a single track (For Miles and Miles) from that Corner House concert on the CD that comes with Roger Farbey's annotated discography of Ian Carr, Elastic Dream.
