thanks Gary for this update.
Alex and I have been good friends and on our list sharing music together for about 15 years now.
It was only 3 days ago I realized I hadn't heard from Alex laterly and wrote him an email. I didn't get a reply and now I know why.
I shall miss Alex a lot. I have every cd he ever made here in the studio. I think Alex was two years older then me and we had a tremendous lot in common including also both being trumpet players in big bands and also in our own, and we both had all the same keyboards over time. He will be greatly missed. Condolences to his family,
Bebop
