About Vince:
"He had a rare and special gift for understanding and interpreting other people's music, a talent which imbued his own writing and arrangements with a uniqueness all his own.His compositions were extraordinary - full of movement and character, never predictable and always captivating to listen to. Vince's warmth, creativity, generosity of spirit and brilliant sense of humour enriched the lives of everyone who knew him, whether in his work as a musician, a teacher, or as a precious friend and loved one. He is deeply missed."
