Dan Morgenstern
Dan Morgenstern is widely recognized as one of America's leading jazz authorities, an honored NEA Jazz Advocate and the director of the Rutgers University Institute of Jazz Studies.Donald Maggin's memorial service was held September 14 at St. John's Cathedral. There was music by trumpeter Jimmy Owens, who also Spoke; pianist Mike Longo; pianist Paul West; Ray Mosca, and singer Carla Cook, with a postlude by pianist Jill McManus. I had the honor of being one of the remembrance speakers. Afterwards, a reception was held at the Columbia University Faculty House, where I discovered yet another musician friend of Maggin's, pianist Connie Crothers.
