In Remembrance
It is with deep sadness to learn of the passing of Eulis Cathey. A tremendous voice for jazz on SiriusXM and in the community. Since coming back to Buffalo a few short years ago, Eulis was a real champion for jazz and for supporting the Pappy Martin Legacy Jazz Collective initiatives as a board member and host. He also was a big supporter of JazzBuffalo, offering guidance and wisdom. He will be sorely missed. Thoughts and prayers to his family, friends, and Real Jazz on Sirius XM fans.
