Jazz, One Day At A Time

The loss of a loved one..

I was really sad to hear today that my cousin Warren died yesterday in Copenhagen. During my early years I didn't really see much of him but as I grew older I began to understand the contribution that Warren had made to the Arts community.

Orignally from Detroit - Warren eventually landed with the Alvin Ailey Dance Troupe and toured the world - using modern dance and his body as the brush, and the stage as his canvas. Last year (for our honeymoon) my wife and I spent a week with Warren and Karsten in Copenhagen and we had the best time - the love, the support and the energy recharged us and made us feel warm!! I would imagine if I could talk to him right now that he was agree that he led a wonder-full life and lived life to the utmost - Warren we miss you!
