Carl Saunders remembered

Latin jazz bandleader Brent Fischer described Carl Saunders this way:

 

   'Carl Saunders is on every single Brent or Claire Fischer large ensemble album

since the 90s.  He never gave - or took - any BS and was always thinking about

what was in service to the music first, 

besides being a good friend full of wise advice and wise cracks.

He had many other music skills besides trumpet.'

 

   As lead trumpet for the Bill Holman Band for decades,

and a mainstay of west coast big band music,

he is sorely missed by every LA jazz musician.

 

   He passed in february in Los Angeles.
