On many Monday nights, I would get a last minute call from one of the guys in the trumpet section to cover for a set or two. The band was incredible. Snooky had just left. Lew Soloff or Marvin Stamm were usually there on lead. Richard Williams, Jimmy Bossy, Steve Furtado or Cecil Bridgewater were the trumpets. Faddis appeared on the NYC scene about 1974 or 75. He was instantly put on the lead chair.
Jimmy Bossy and Steve Furtado. There's a couple of names I haven't heard in a while. Any idea what they're up to nowadays?
