The silliest pie-in-the-face TV comic of the ’50s had trumpeter Clifford Brown with drummer Max Roach on his kiddie show. Soupy Sales loved jazz — how cool is that?\u00c2\u00a0\"Soupy<\/a><\/p>\n

This featured performance was unusual, but of a piece with Soupy’s musical taste. He appeared in a “Frankly Jazz” series episode featuring “The Martian Bossa Nova” by trumpeter\u00c2\u00a0Shorty Rogers with Pete Jolly and Mel Lewis, among others; he\u00c2\u00a0entertained at the 2002 Jazz Awards<\/a>. His sons Hunt and Tony are musicians who have worked with David Bowie. Soupy will be missed but also remembered.<\/div>\n
