Ted, I remember my dad telling us that he played in a well-known big band from the L.A area before he married and started a family. For the life of me I just can't remember the name of the band leader he played for.
My father was Music Supervisor for the Bakersfield City School District for over 30 years. I remember him always having a ton of private music students at his music studio in our home, studying sax, clarinet, and flute. I do remember that David Benoit was one of his outstanding students who made the big time. Also, he led his own dance band combo for many years. Unfortunately, he never recorded to my knowledge, with the exception of one religious album.
