Fleisher conducted several Bayside Summer Nights performances of the San Diego Symphony Orchestra, featuring the San Diego Master Chorale. I barely interacted with him, of course, but he was a really nice person and a joy to work with.

I hadn't known about his symphonic/rock fusion projects or world music collaborations until I read his obit. Further evidence of his ability to play well with others!
Such people should be brought to others' attention, to inspire us and keep us from growing discouraged. People who refuse to play well with others get so much more press that it sometimes seems they're the majority. They're not.
