Woody Mann R.I.P.

(1/3) > >>

MarkC:
I saw on another forum that Mary Flower posted on Facebook that Woody died. Can anyone confirm that? I’m not on Facebook. I’m hoping it’s not true.

Prof Scratchy:
Very tragic news, which sadly appears to be true.

MarkC:
Stefan Grossman posted it on his website, along with a statement from Woody’s wife.

So sad. He was a very special person.

waxwing:
I am very saddened to hear this. What a gentle and encouraging teacher he was. I took a workshop with Woody and Mary Flowers, oh, back in the mid 00s, and it was a treat. When I ran into him at an event years later he called me the Scrapper Blackwell Guy (I wish). This is a loss to the community, CB as well as Jazz.

Very sorry I never got the chance to meet him – his book Six Black/Early Blues Guitarists was a big help to me as I was learning.
