A few pictures from my Walt Whitman High School (Huntington Station, NY) jazz band, founded and led (as was the Jr. High band) by pioneer jazz educator Clem DeRosa.
And then a few pieces.
First off, one from Jr. High with me playing the trombone solo on Moonlight In Vermont (after John DeFato’s trumpet solo).
The rest are the high school band playing.
Jacob Jones, featuring John Gatchell on trumpet, John Dellera on tenor sax.
Yesterdays, featuring John Dellera on tenor sax.
On It, featuring John Dellera tenor, Mike Hughes piano, Alan Gauvin alto.
The Kid From Red Bank, featuring Mike Hughes on piano.
One Bass Hit, featuring Ron Smith on bass, Robert Albin on trumpet.
