Hey guys…

I am a former ARJB member circa 2001-2003 and a member of the Alum Rock Jazz Band Foundation.

Mr. Spacek has let the foundation know that our great founder and mentor, Mr. Nicolosi, has passed away.

A few days ago he suffered a stroke and they discovered a neck aneurysm. He took his last breath at 2 pm today.

Mr. Spacek will be informing the foundation of future celebration of life and will update you all.

Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this difficult time.

Thank you, Mr. Nicolosi for believing in me and giving me a chance at music. Because of you and other music teachers, I am now a band teacher at ARUSD. May your legacy live on forever. You will never be forgotten.

This week, Jazz Band alum Joe DeRose came by jazz band rehearsal and spent some time talking about his experience with the jazz band and playing professionally. He also presented the band with an award of his time with the band. Joe has created a foundation in memory of his mentor and private drum teacher Karl Carter. The Karl Carter foundation supports underprivileged drum students if you would like to support you can find info on Joe’s website at: joederosedrums.com/kcfoundation. Thank you again, Joe!
