December always brings hope-for the first snowfall, the heart-felt hope that Santa won't forget that special list you gave him, or hope for the true reason for the season.
A few days before Christmas, I just have to put a temporary halt to my procrastination of sending cards, wrapping packages, or spreading the "holiday spirit" fighting traffic at the mall. December 22 brings a special smile to my face. Nick Ceroli was born on this day. There is no need for the customary cake and candle, just a fervant bit of thanks for the day.
Nick spent a small bit of time with us. But, in that collection of minutes, hours, days, months, and years, he provided a virtual ceaseless stream of magic that can be enjoyed today by the aficionado and the novice. For those of us who appreciated his rhythms with the Brass, there were even more who loved Nick for his beat with the big bands and small jazz combos. His variety in music was our spice!
Happy birthday, Nick. Your music will always be appreciated by those who love the beat and hear the brass. Requiescat in pace.
