[Doug Crane]

 From the LA Times: "Chauncey Welsch, a trombonist best known for his 
work with musical greats including Tony Bennett, Rosemary Clooney and 
Benny Goodman, died of cancer May 25 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center 
in Los Angeles. He was 81."

Chauncey was a featured soloist on some of the Linda Ronstadt/Nelson 
Riddle recordings of the 1980's

He was also the uncle of Grammy award winning recording engineer 
Elliot Scheiner, known for his work with Steely Dan, Toto, Sting and 
many others.  Scheiner was a drummer who did not like to tour but 
wanted to stay in the music biz.  During a recording session that 
Chauncey was participating in at New York City's A&R Studios, 
Chauncey introduced Elliot to Phil Ramone.  After a brief 
conversation, Ramone offered Scheiner a job as his assistant.
