Rolf was an intense and beautiful player. He and the Empire Brass were important musical role models for us young players in the mid 70s.
I heard their Naumburg debut recital at Lincoln Center in 1976, called Sam Pilafian for lessons and began my career as a musician. I heard the quintet many times over the years and even got to perform with them - quite a thrill.
Rest in Peace - and Condolences to Rolf's family.
