Today, on Lee Katzman’s birthday, we salute the Chicago-born trumpeter (May 17 1928 – August 1 2013) whose fearless high-note flights enlivened more than 70 recording sessions and powered big-band tours with Gene Krupa, Claude Thornhill, Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich and Jimmy Dorsey.(Wikipedia, Apple Music - Web Player) His blend of swing lyricism and bebop daring—captured on records like Lee Katzman Meets Supersax—expanded the language of modern jazz and earned him the respect of peers and critics alike.(Apple Music - Web Player) That spirit of curiosity and craft lives on in his son, singer-songwriter Theo Katzman, who often credits Lee’s example for lighting his own musical path.(wikidata.org)
