Maestro Amadie unlocked the secrets of Jazz Improvisation for me during the lessons he conducted in his home more the 50 years ago. He was beloved by my mother, Santina Mosca LPN, who worked for a doctor at 6th & Erie. He was an important mentor to me and I mourn his passing.

With deepest regrets; we both started out as members of Local 77, AFM, as young pianists. He had a unique talent and certainly proved that any difficulty could be overcome.
