Mr. Sharon passed away on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at the age of 91.

I will follow up with more news as it becomes available. We offer our sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Here is The Ralph Sharon Trio, with Paul Langosch and Joe LaBarbera, and Tony Bennett performing “Solitude” at London’s Prince Edward Theatre in 1991.
