Whigham had piano and harmony lessons at the Cleveland Institute of Music from the age of seven. He started playing the trombone at the age of eleven; he was already engaged for concerts and even recordings during his school years. Already at the age of 17 he was the first solo trombonist of the Glenn Miller Orchestra under Ray McKinley, two years later with Stan Kenton. He also studied composition in Cleveland.

This album’s a listening pleasure for any music lover, but if you have a particular fondness for the trombone’s warm-toned vocal sound, this album’s a must – a once in a lifetime conclave of four of the instrument’s greats. There’s Dane Kai Winding, best known for his classic series of jazz albums with modern trombone icon J.J. Johnson. With his multiphonics and exploratory bent, Germany’s Albert Mangelsdorff was a major innovator on the instrument. American Bill Watrous played with Maynard Ferguson and Ten Wheel Drive; his Manhattan Wildlife Refuge was a leading big band in the 70’s. The USA’s Jiggs Whigham worked in the Stan Kenton band before moving to Europe where he has been in continual demand as a soloist and educator. An added delight: American piano maestro Horace Parlan adds taste and depth with a solo on every piece but one.
