Seattle trumpet legend Floyd Standifer passed away Monday night. The Seattle Times’ Paul de Barros has a fine obituary.
“We are a hard bop group,” Standifer declared at a gig several years ago. “Amen!” shouted someone in the audience just a few feet behind me. Standifer’s fine solos and even-keeled trumpet tone as well as his occasional (and endearingly distinct) singing will be missed.
