Mic you will not be forgotten,

The Bay Area music community was reeling after news broke that Mic Gillette, a talented trumpet and trombone player and founding member of East Bay soul-R&B powerhouse Tower of Power, died unexpectedly over the weekend. He was 64.

 

 

 

"Today we are shocked, stunned, and saddened to learn that Mic Gillette has passed away," Tower of Power said on its Facebook page on Sunday. "We are told that a sudden heart attack took him. Please keep Mic's family in your thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time."

Damn!

 

I used to listen to Tower of Power when I worked at the Music store. The one part time guy that came in on Wednesdays was the ONLY person that could get our co-worker to give up the stereo (he used to force us to listen to the SAME Coltrane CD non-stop for 8 hours! Every. Single. Day.) and we would jam out to Tower of Power and Earth, Wind & Fire. I'll have to pull out some T.O.P. to jam out to tomorrow.
