Guitarist Ross Bolton, known throughout the jazz community, passed away on March 30th after a lengthy battle with cancer. Ross was known for playing with Al Jarreau, Rick Braun, Euge Groove, and many, many others. He leaves behind a wife and two children.

A benefit concert was held on March 21, 2013 in Sherman Oaks, California and attended by so many artists and fans that many were unable to get in. It is always amazing to see the outpouring of support in this community.
