==============================================

I. FRANK CAPP PASSES

Frank Capp, a flexible and consistently swinging drummer
who loved nothing more than driving a big band, has passed.

As leader of the Juggernaut (a group he co-led with Nat Pierce
starting in 1975, until the pianist’s death in 1992), he got to
push and inspire some of Los Angeles’ best.
Capp found his initial fame playing with Stan Kenton’s
Orchestra (1951). Two years later, he settled in Los
Angeles; became a busy studio musician; and played
with everyone from Ella Fitzgerald, Harry James, and
Charlie Barnet to Stan Getz, Art Pepper, and Dave Pell.

We will inform you if we hear of a service.

==========================

II. MEMORIAL FOR MAURICE GRANT

Recently we lost a dear colleague, cellist Maurice
Grant. The large turnout at his funeral was a
testament to his popularity and talent.

Maurice’s memorial will be on Monday evening,
September 25th at 6:30 at the
Congregational Church of the Chimes,
14115 W. Magnolia Blvd. in Sherman Oaks.

Participation, musical or otherwise, is welcome.
Please contact Elizabeth (Lissy) Wilson or
Armen Ksadjikian.

the end of my Electrolux hose. and no longer being

this with impunity. what fun !

———————————

But you still belong to 802 even though you live in
WA. And while we’re at it – a so-called cello/bass/
musical saw player (that’s how you’re listed)
commenting on an oboe player’s sound?? How
about Yo-Yo Ma can still get a better sound
than you by playing on his ocarina. Sorry you
had to leave the business and move to the WA
wilderness

[EC: Sounds like a typical self-important studio
musician comment, doesn’t it?]
