You might?ve never heard of him, but he was a great friend of the trombone and trombone players. He lived in the San Francisco area. He had 37 trombones, and upwards of 6,000 records ? most all of them jazz - mainly trombone and big band. He passed away January 3rd. We celebrated his life this past weekend in San Mateo with a beautiful Buddhist ceremony. He was a wonderful friend who Liz and I will miss tremendously. But he left something behind for student musicians anywhere in the United States. The Friends Of Big Band Jazz (www.bigbandjazz.net) will be overseeing the "Dave and Emily Umemoto Scholarship Fund." It will fund an ongoing scholarship that will be given, each year, to a graduating high school senior who is pursuing jazz studies in college. I urge all student trombonists to check it out. The criteria will be published soon. I?m not on the board of FBBJ. Nor am I on the selection committee ? yet. But I intend to be there when the first selection is made to insure that trombonists ? who were Dave?s favorite players - are given a (maybe more than) fair opportunity. After all, Mike Vax, the Chairman of FBBJ, is a scrawny, old, fella who thinks he can take me only because I?ve allowed him to believe so. All The Best, Mike (left jab, right cross, kick ?em in the shins) Suter ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2007 05:41:30 -0700 From: Earl Needham Subject: [Trombone-l] Is this thing working?
