Thanks for those, Jeff. I'm in my eighties and remember Jack from his days as music director on the Merv Griffin Show. He was a lot heavier then.

I always liked his playing. He played a beautiful solo on The Shadow Of Your Smile, the love theme from The Sandpiper movie soundtrack and it won a few important awards.
Here's a youtube of the performance:

Great band too! I always loved his solos - he goofed a lot too when on his own. He could make you laugh as he played. Great entertainer

Wow, a blast from the past. Listened to them on radio regularly, when I was a tween. I was first aware of Jack when I got the Kenton The Stage Door Swings.

Slight correction here - Mort Lindsey was the musical director. Jack was just in the band.....along with Harold Land, Nick Cerullo and others....

As I recall, he used a 10 1/2C mouthpiece (like Carl Saunders). I can't remember what horn.

Isn’t that about same size as Bobby Shew lead piece?
