We lost a giant in our community last night.
Mark Colbywas both respected and loved by everyone in our music world. He was a saxophonist of the highest degree and I had the privilege of being his first student when he started teaching at DePaul 40 years ago. Mark was a beautiful human being with a great sense of humor and a huge heart. Our community has lost a significant voice that will never be replaced. Prayers and condolences to his dear family.
