He was an inspiring and wonderful man, one of the world's best jazz trumpeters and a gifted educator and composer. He has touched so many people's lives with his "warmth, passion, virtuosity and soul" and will want to be remembered as such.
We would ask you to respect the privacy of his family and close friends at this difficult time. We will let you know in due course when appropriate arrangements have been made so that everyone has an opportunity to say goodbye.
