Burt

Joe Shepley called me a few minutes ago to let me know that Burt Collins had passed away yesterday. Burt was one of the sweetest people to grace the planet. He was a super player. In his day he was one of the busiest studio players in NYC.
Here is more about my friend.

Wilmer -

Thanks for the sad info. Burt was a true gentleman and certainly was a part of some great music over the years. His playing and spirit will be missed.

Re: Burt

WOW! We are loosing many legends and for me, BURT COLLINS was a legend. It's too bad his name didn't grace these trumpet sites more often so to let him know he was an insparation to more than his close friends and peers. But a Trumpet Nation!.... PEACE BE WITH YOU!

Another great one has fallen. His work is done,and will bear fruit.
Let's trumpet his work !

Wilmer,how is Mr. Shepley doing these days ?
His tenure in Duke Pearson's band is fondly remembered.

Re: Burt Collins

I am very Sad to see the news about Burt Collins. . . (all-be-it late) my very first Play-a-Long Vinyl disc was one called Little Jazz Duets featuring Burt Collins playing both traks (Music Minus One) back in 1974-5?

He was definitely a Player with a Big Focused sound! Nice guy too from what I've heard other players say about him.
