Soupy Sales died a few weeks ago and I would be remiss if I didn’t post something about him here. A lot of people remember the comedian and host of the Lunch with Soupy Sales show, but Sales was also a jazz buff. Frequently, he invited the top jazz musicians of the day to be on his nighttime show, Soupy’s On. In fact, the only known video recording of the famous and highly influential trumpeter Clifford Brown came from Soupy’s On. Not many highly visible champions of jazz around these days. So, hat’s off and a fond farewell to Mr. Sales.
