During a period that included the 1982 World’s Fair, I spent my undergraduate days at the University of Tennessee. Importantly for me, Don Hough was my trombone teacher at UTK. I have plenty of great memories from that time, many of which do not include the World’s Fair Sunsphere. Many of these good memories do, however, include Don Hough, who recently won an ITA Humfeld teaching award.

Art Ford Jazz Party
A Kinescope find from the Internet Archive. The “Art Ford Jazz Party” aired on the DuMont Television Network. Included in the frontline is trombonist Tyree Glen and saxophonist Coleman Hawkins. The rest of the very strong line-up: Teddy Charles (vibes), Hank Damico (clarinet), Mary Osborne (guitar), Johnny Windhurst (trumpet), Morey Feld (drums), Todd Colberg (bass), and Alec Templeton (piano). Pianist Roland Hanna (Later Sir Roland Hanna) and singer Maxine Sullivan also make appearances later in the program.
