It has been reported, via the IDRS list, that John Oboe Mack has died. I knew he was quite ill, so this isn’t a shock, but it is sad news nonetheless. He was a great oboist, and I have some excellent recordings of his.

His son, Rick Mack, writes,

“I have one personal request – see that his teachings continue in their truest form. He was a man of amazing talent, character, and drive not to mention a loving husband and father. Hold to that and pass it on. God bless!”
