I used to love hearing Santo Savino on PBS's Jazz at the Four Queens from Las Vegas. And was so pleased to eventually hear him live with Carl Saunders. Got to know him a bit, too. He remains one of my favorite drummers!
Saunders is a great talent that never received the notoriety he should have. Very well known amongst musicians for his immense abilities, but not so much amongst the public. He may rub some people the wrong way, but there is no denying his abundant talent.
Carl is a musical genius, and an emotional one-off in development. Jazz should be thankful for his entry. A superb player of unbelievable versatility. Vain, maybe, but does he not deserve to be?
Such a tragedy that this kind of jazz, and the great, talented people who drove it and created these fantastic sounds just slowly became a waste as far as the general public was concerned. Goodbye Elvis. I never did love ya.

Nothing wrong with knowing your good and telling it like it is!
Rest in peace Carl and Dave
Chops abound, and the Panasonic drummer.... what a treat!
