This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

Next step was joining the Ted Weems Orchestra. At the end of the fifties, he joined Maynard Ferguson Orchestra, playing with him at Newport Festival in 1958, and Marian McPartland Trio. At that time, he also played with Toshiko Akiyoshi, Harry James, Herb Pomeroy and Bobby Hackett, but don´t have enough info to show their lineups, sorry.
