Wayman Tisdale Tribute-Part 1-Wayman’s last Jazz Cruise in Jan 2009
Part 1-Video of Wayman Tisdale on the Holland America’s m/s Westerdam in January 2009 for “The Smooth Jazz Cruise hosted by Wayman Tisdale”. Dave Koz said: “This is a tough one for anyone who knew Wayman — to know him was indeed to love him. No one made people feel good like Wayman Tisdale… that smile, that spirit about him — that sense of determination and focus. He had this way of making everyone feel special. He was huge in every way and took the biggest bites out of life. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to spend so many wonderful times with him, to share the stage, to laugh, to record together, just to hang out — but even if you didn’t know him, there was so much love in what he offered the world that you couldn’t help but love him back. And I can’t recall anyone fighting cancer the way he fought it — he was a hero on the court, on the stage, in his fight to live and in everything he did. I send my sincerest, heartfelt prayers of comfort to his wife Regina, the four wonderful Tisdale kids, his family, friends and the millions of fans who adored him.”
