Charlie Mingus asked him to sit in at the Villlage Vanguard at the age 16. Chet Baker and Stan Getz played his songs. Stéphane Grappelli, Hank Jones, Buddy Rich, and The Hot Swing Trio hired him to play in their bands. And singers Tony Bennett, Barbara Cook, Rita Moreno and Eartha Kitt did the same. Join us as Jon Burr shares stories and music at a special Sunday afternoon presentation at Trumpets in Montclair.
