Sorry to hear about Herb He was a great guy. He released an album with myself and my brother Gary. The Barone Brothers, “Blues And Other Happy Moments” in 1980 on Palo Alto Records. I re-released it in 2005 on my own label Rhubarb Recordings. I always called him when I released a new big band CD. He had good ears and was very honest.

Herb Wong was a wonderful individual. Aside from owning Palo Alto as well as Black Hawk record labels we was on the of the greatest Jazz Historians. I was honored when he asked me to be The Bass Chairman during his Presidency of The National Association of Jazz Educators which later became The International Association of Jazz Educators. His presence will be very much by me and I am sure a host of others whose life he touched. Thank you Herb for your contributions to this music. It was a treasure to have had you as a friend. Thank you and Peace, Love and Blessings be upon him. Thank You Herb.
