[78-L] Deceased boppers

[eugene hayhoe]

Just earlier today I was reading an issue of Blues & Rhythm from 2007 with a letter from Bob Koester that Frank Teschemacher still came into the Jazz Record Mart & how he regetted never getting him into the studio for Delmark. I had no clue he was still alive! I remember being ticked off when Horace Henderson died a little over 20 years ago - where was the press when he was still living?
