Gui do Basso, of The Boss Brass, has died. He was a flugelhornist, trumpeter, arranger, composer, conductor, harmonica player... He was 85.
Now go ahead and say you've never heard of him.
And can you believe I couldn't post this because his first name is a "bad word"? Therefore I couldn't include a sample of his playing because it would have his name in the link. So go search it yourself.

I found this humorous video of him and Al Hirt. Tremendous talent.

I think it's an insult among Italian Americans living on the Jersey Shore... or something like that.

@BarBaraPrz I did not know, a racist way to mention Italians I suppose.

Yikes. Sorry, but I'm going to go ahead and say I've never heard of him.
