Wo.
This is shocking news. Milt was a great guy and strong musical influence on me especially during my Army Band days and when I got to work with him at the University of Maryland. He introduced me to so many new works, especially those of Jan Koetsier; his mentoring ultimately ended up in my Koetsier recording. This is extremely sad and untimely news, and I'm sure he'll be missed greatly in D.C. and around the world.
