Truly sad news, he'll be missed. But his infectious rhythms will live on in the many recordings he graced us with.
Here's a recent photo of Dom pictured with Arnie DeSouteiro around the time of the 2002 re-issues Sergio Mendes' albums. Arnie sent the photo to myself and B.J.Major who assisted Arnie on some original liner note information.
