Pianista statunitense (Garfield, New Jersey, 28.8.1921 – Flushing, New York, 23.9.1985). Bunny Berigan gli procura a diciassette anni il suo primo contratto, al quale seguiranno vari soggiorni presso Teddy Powell, Vaughan Monroe, Charlie Spivak, prima che Woody Herman gli conceda la propria fiducia e gli offra la tastiera ormai vacante dopo la partenza di Ralph Burns. E così partecipa alla prima di Ebony Concerto (marzo 1946).

Lasciato Herman, per tre anni si dedica all’insegnamento presso il conservatorio di New York, poi riprende il suo posto nelle orchestre specializzate nelle trasmissioni radio e negli studi di registrazione, sollecitato da Chubby Jackson che lo prega più volte di incidere.

Il suo stile lineare e volubile e la sua ottima tecnica strumentale ci fanno spesso pensare allo spirito di Lennie Tristano.

American pianist (Garfield, New Jersey, 28.8.1921 - Flushing, New York, 23.9.1985). Bunny Berigan gets him his first contract at the age of seventeen. Followed by various stays with Teddy Powell, Vaughan Monroe, and Charlie Spivak before Woody Herman gives him his trust and offers him the keyboard now vacant after the departure of Ralph Burns. And so he participates in the premiere of Ebony Concerto (March 1946).

After leaving Herman, he devoted himself to teaching at the New York Conservatory for three years, then resumed his place in the orchestras specializing in radio broadcasts and recording studios, urged by Chubby Jackson. The latter asked him to record several times.

His linear and volatile style and excellent instrumental technique often make us think of Lennie Tristano's spirit.
