Turk Van Lake -- Jazz Guitarist, 84 Turk Van Lake, a jazz guitarist and arranger of the swing era, died on Sept. 1 at a Staten Island nursing home. He was 84.

Under his original name, Vanig Hovsepian, he was a classical composer.

In the 1940's, he began to tour as an arranger, composer and guitarist with bands that included those of Charlie Barnet, Lionel Hampton and Buddy Rich.

His playing was heard on recordings with Sarah Vaughan, and it complemented the Benny Goodman Orchestra on its famous Russian tour in 1962.

Mr. Hovsepian's survivors include two daughters, Armene Hovsepian and Angelique McKee, and three grandchildren. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rgabrels (talkcontribs) 17:26, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Roland gear

[edit]

Gabrels onstage relied extensively upon the Roland VG-8 in the Tin Machine era and for years after, using only a hex pickup in a Parker. He was selling his patch set online, but stopped after others pirated them. More recently, he has used a VG-99 performing with Imaginary Friends.
