A little late with this obituary, but Hawaiian jazz sax player and flautist Gabe Baltazar Junior passed away June 12th, 2022, aged 92.

He played the iconic flute solo in American Trilogy during the Aloha From Hawaii satellite concert, first broadcast in January 1973. It's hard to imagine a soloist being under more pressure for a few moments of air time. The result was probably as perfect as an ensemble performance can be, with Gabe Baltazar's part no exception. It's interesting that in the rehearsal concert, he made a slight mistake, but for the broadcast hit every note perfectly. He featured in a prominent closeup during his solo.

A Korean War veteran, he had previously played with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, appearing on 17 LPs, and worked as a session musician at NBC in Los Angeles, backing Pat Boone, Phyllis Diller, Johnny Carson, Smothers Brothers and Glen Campbell amongst many others. He returned to Hawaii as assistant director of the Royal Hawaiian Band in 1969.

According to his obituary from WBGO:

"...Declining health removed Baltazar from active circulation within the last decade. Five years ago, he was already in a long-term care hospital, the Wahiawa General Hospital. He was playing flute for people coming in, to provide entertainment. They had a piano there, so he was playing the piano, too. He really loved to play, until he just couldn’t blow anymore..."
