ROBERT D. COGAN

He was my theory teacher during my one year of graduate school at NEC , 65-66 in applied piano... very memorable class.. he was a true scholar. I still have his "Syllabus in Compositional Techniques". Tho I am now well educated in mainstream and contemporary jazz theory and techniques, I need to get back to his syllabus, to acknowledge at least this portion of his work from a very different perspective. My condolences to Pozzi and rest of family.

I am somehow only finding out about this now and that really pains me. You were a great teacher, and the lessons I learned from you have forever shaped the ways I think about music. I wish I could have thanked you earlier.

Thinking of you and wishing you moments of peace and comfort

Joan Heller and Burr Van Nostrand express our sympathy to Pozzi and Kalli. We have many wonderful memories of working with Bob.
