| Remembering the great percussionist/flautist Derf Reklaw of The Pharaohs and numerous other jazz and funk groups. |
"Good morning everyone. This is Derf’s daughter, Amani. It is with a heavy heart that I announce his passing.
He appreciated the love and support from his Facebook family. You all inspired him to make his daily positive affirmation posts.
Thank you all for being on this journey called life with him. While he is no longer with us in the physical form, he leaves behind an outstanding musical legacy that will live on forever. He leaves behind a treasure trove of stories, laughter, and love. He knew history inside and out. He was a multi instrumentalist recently recognized by the Duke Ellington Society as a living Jazz Legend, though his skills and unmatched talent crossed over many genres.
He was a brother, a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather, a friend, a mentor, and an inspiration to so many.
We will miss him dearly."
