Trumpeter Wilmer Wise commented today:
Rest in Peace.
Jimmy and I go all the way back to the Philadelphia All-City High School Orchestra. Jimmy was a very talented percussionist. We played in many community orchestras.
While Jimmy was at the University of Pennsylvania, I hooked him up with Gunther Schuller for a concert of music that Gunther had recorded. I think that this is when Jimmy's gift became evident to the world.
