Comments on: Adventures In Jazz Collecting: Red Carraro, Part 2 https://jazzcollector.com/features/adventures-in-jazz-collecting-red-carraro-part-2/ For those who love jazz Sat, 17 Jul 2010 01:24:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 By: Bill Carraro Jr. https://jazzcollector.com/features/adventures-in-jazz-collecting-red-carraro-part-2/comment-page-1/#comment-24622 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 04:22:33 +0000 http://jazzcollector.com/?p=3059#comment-24622 Follow up on “Red” Carraro: Dad’s wake was today, and he looked really sharp in his Brown Suede Cardigan. You “Jazz Guys” might get a kick out of the fact that it was Zoot Sims favorite piece, and when Zoot passed, his wife Louise gave it to dad (Zoot and dad had become close in Zoot’s later years).
If you knew dad, you knew he cherished everything “ZOOT” and never wore it until today. It was his wish to be laid to rest wearing the Cardigan; in addition to having his original Bunny Berigan EP of “I Can’t Get Started (dad’s favorite song).
Sorry Folks, that one is not for sale.

Thanks for all the great thoughts on “Red” a/k/a, “The Jazz Hunter.”
