jaxson50 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 I did get to play with Dave. From age 19 to 22 I was attending the Univ. of Utah Music School, majoring in Jazz. I was one of Dr. William Fowler "Jazz Cats" as he called his students, along with Lad Macintosh, both very well connected in the Jazz world the U of U was a unlikely place for one of the top Jazz programs in the nation. It didn't last long. I was playing drums at the time and just starting to study guitar, and there were only three other drummers in our class, so we got a lot more playing time then others...There were some remarkable artist who came to the U of U. Mondell Lowell, Johnny Smith, Frank Zappa (and his band who included two of Fowlers sons) Tom Scott and Patrick Williams...Dave & Linda LaFlamme, it was awesome... William Fowler passed away a few years ago, read some of the posts on his Memory Book and you will see how loved he was and how his teaching touched so many; http://memorialwebsites.legacy.com/billfowler/Subpage.aspx?mod=7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
