It seems like there are good number of people trying to find him but they've had no luck trying to find out what actually happened to him. I guess finding stuff like this make me think about the whole jazz fame thing... there are so many great players who are relatively unknown outside of their circles who are just as good as the ones that are famous. If I didn't live in LA I wouldn't have known about Clare Fischer or Terry Trotter. Last edited by etcetra; 01/10/12 09:36 PM.

I would like to know if there is any additional information about Hermann Szobel besides Wikipedia? Last edited by Nahum; 07/29/21 07:37 AM.
