“Among trombonists, my favorites were Jack Teagarden, Trummy Young and Murray McEachern. Murray was a unique person. He could play all the instruments. There was also Bill Harris, Lawrence Brown and Tommy Dorsey. I also admired Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Perry Como and Bing Crosby. They were all wonderful in that they made sense when they performed.”
