Steve Bagby

May he rest in peace.

Steve influenced many drummers, played with Ira Sullivan, Joe Diorio, Alex Darqui...Jaco always enjoyed playing with this seasoned musician.

There is reference to him at:

and

I believe there is a tape of him with Jaco, and Alex Darqui somewhere.

My thoughts are with Steve, and his family.

Re: Steve Bagby

I remember his nice play on record of "Ira Sullivan" with Jaco and Joe Diorio.

Re: Steve Bagby

I worked with Ira and Steve and Eddie Higgins, playing upright bass at both "Beeps" and "Bubba's".

What a great musical experience. I will always remember being on a break when Steve asked me, "What is the most important beat?" I wasn't sure where he was going with this so I asked him to tell me. His answer? "The next one." Hmm, sage advice from a master of making sure that the next beat was right where it was supposed to be. He helped me a lot just by being supportive and making music with us in his intensely-listening way.

I was sad to hear of his passing. He was a good man.
