der sun-sentinel-artikel darf in deutschland nicht gelesen werden und die clips hatte ich auch gefunden, aber nicht gepostet, weil man von da aus schlecht darauf schließen kann, wie ulmer in goldsmiths orgeltrio geklungen haben könnte.

Dann kopiere ich den mal rasch – passt vom Eindruck her zu den YT-Links (sorry ;-) ), Hollywood Golf and Country Club und so, da guckt dann halt auch Palin mal vorbei :wacko:

ERNIE GOLDSMITH, LOCAL JAZZ MUSICIAN

Ernie Goldsmith, a well-known South Florida jazz pianist and singer, died Saturday at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood. He was 65.

Known for his stylish clothes and an ebullient, crowd-pleasing manner at the piano and organ, Mr. Goldsmith worked until the end, performing the night before his death at the Hollywood Golf and Country Club. After collapsing on Saturday, he was rushed to the hospital, where he died of pneumonia, complicated by infections.

Mr. Goldsmith was born May 18, 1932, in Louisville, Ky. He received his early musical training from his mother. During the Korean War, he played trumpet in the U.S. Army Band, then moved on to New York and was active in the club and jazz scene of the 1960s.

During the 1970s Mr. Goldsmith lived in Pennsylvania, where he worked at clubs in the Pittsburgh area. After settling in Hollywood in 1980, he performed regularly at such well-known Broward nightspots as Joe Sonken’s Gold Coast, Top of the Home, Hemmingway’s, Ciro’s and Galleria G’Vanni’s. A slender man with a dapper appearance, Mr. Goldsmith was known for wearing berets, polka-dot bow ties, jewelry and large eyeglasses as he performed. He had an easy rapport with his audience, which often followed him from club to club.

„He had a unique approach,“ said Billy Marcus, another South Florida pianist. „He would get up in the middle of a song and walk out into the audience. He conversed with people not just with his talking but with his playing.“

Mr. Goldsmith worked with many well-known musicians through the years and once turned down an opportunity, according to a friend, to manage Gladys Knight and the Pips.

„He was a very astute musician,“ said Joe Cellini, a drummer who worked often with Mr. Goldsmith in both Pennsylvania and Florida. „He was always positive and enthusiastic.“

„He was a really good player and a great person,“ said Melton Mustafa, a Miami trumpeter and bandleader.

Mr. Goldsmith is survived by his son, Derrick, of Pompano Beach; daughters Renee and Juwan, of Indiana; Nicole, of Pittsburgh; and three grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Hollywood Golf and Country Club, 1550 Johnson St.
