" Jazz artist dies

Published: February 4, 2004 "


" Legendary saxophone player and blues man Cornelius Bumpus died today of a heart attack while flying from New York to California for a series of concerts, including Sonora-area appearances scheduled for tomorrow and Saturday.

"I still can't believe it," said Columbia College music teacher and jazz band leader Rod Harris, who has sponsored Bumpus's Tuolumne County appearances for more than 20 years.

Bumpus' wife told Harris that her husband had the heart attack while flying with her on a Jet Blue flight from New York to the Bay Area. After he was stricken, the plane landed in Kansas City, but the musician was already dead.

This week's Tuolumne County concerts, at Snowshoe Brewing Co. tomorrow and at Columbia College on Saturday, have been canceled.

Building a name for himself with the 1960s-era Santa Cruz band Moby Grape, he went on to compose, record and perform with the Doobie Brothers for more than 20 years.

Since 1985, he has been a member and featured soloist with the touring bands of Etta James, the New York Rock and Soul Revue, Lacy J. Dalton and Boz Scaggs. Bumpus also toured and recorded with the revived 1970s supergroup Steely Dan. "
