Catlett, who passed on Nov. 12, performed in venues all over the world, including Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley, and on the often-heard recording of “Fly Me to the Moon” with Count Basie and Frank Sinatra, as well as “What a Wonderful World” with Louis Armstrong. He received local recognition for his musical accomplishments in 1991 when he was inducted by Earshot Jazz into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame. Then on February 21, 2008, when the City of Seattle proclaimed it Buddy Catlett Day.
