It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that Warren Bernhardt is gone
He was a large presence in every way. Physically, a big, warmhearted, friendly guy; musically, a giant. He could play anything, from Rachmaninoff to bebop and everything in between. His musical ability was off the charts (in every way) but he would accompany a simple folksong as willingly and enthusiastically as he would a complex jazz improvisation. And he played with just about everyone - the list is too long to relate here. He gave of his talents freely and generously and made everyone he played with sound better.
Happy Traum
