Red Holloway 6-decade career, playing with everybody important (long time with Etta James, 10-year stint with Brother Jack McDuff, great session man). A "go-to" guy if you wanted someone to come in, blow the hell out of a soul/jazz chart, then take the money and leave. He brought class and warmth to everything he did. His Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Holloway A review of his last CD (at age 80 !): http://www.allmusic.com/album/go-red-go%21-mw0000808620
