Trumpeter Emil Haddad was a fixture on the Massachusetts jazz scene for decades. A renowned and well-loved musician, he generously shared his great spirit and warm music with generations of jazz audiences in Central New England. "We've all been blessed to have someone like this around. We're all better people for having known him. And Worcester is a better place culturally because of what he did." - Brian Barlow/ executive director, WICN Radio 90.5 FM
