A huge loss for the music community...I think many of us have played countless charts by Dave. As a teacher, I have relied on his charts heavily over the years.
RIP Dave Wolpe

Oh no! Dude was a genius and a sweetheart of a guy. He lived in Orlando so I'd see him at the occasional big band concert. Such a loss to the music world!

If you see a Willson 2900, serial W2177, it's been missing for a long time. Help me bring it home.

Re: RIP Dave Wolpe
That's a shame. I can't say that I knew him, but the group I read jazz charts with once a month certainly uses many of his arrangements.
My condolences to his family and friends.

Re: RIP Dave Wolpe
I concur! I read those charts with Jerry for many years before my knees and back precluded my participation in this true 'Big Band' ensemble. Be sure to tell Jerry the sad news. I keep meaning to drop by during a rehearsal just to listen.
Best regards,
