I am so sad. Met Karl the last time for breakfast in his NY neighborhood in 2019 after years of not having seen each other. It was like it always was: easy to talk and humorous and relaxed. One time in late 90‘s or early 2000 we played a jazz Festival at Le Bar Bat NYC with his Wake Up Call. Our backstage room was an un-manned full bar…you can imagine what happened while waiting til the other band finished playing. This band played some great music and assembled some really cool and funny cats. And it was Karl who organized it all. I miss you.
