Another great loss...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

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.
