"Today I’d like to pay tribute to a guy, who a lot of you probably don’t even know. I was saddened to hear that Coleman Mellot, guitarist for the Sugarman 3 was killed on Flight 3407 that crashed while en route from Newark, NJ to Buffalo, NY. Originally from Washington, DC, Mellot attended Duquesne University and William Paterson University, and eventually earned a Masters Degree from Manhattan School of Music. A staple on the New York music scene, Mellot also was playing with Chuck Mangione, and a trio that included organist Adam Scone and drum legend Ben Dixon among others. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mellot’s family, as well as his extended music family. Go out and play some Sugarman 3 this week DJ’s, one more for Coleman Mellot. Keep Diggin’!"
