this if rom 1973, not '76. Gary Hobbs was the drummer after Erskine, and I notice Dennis Noday in the trumpets, he left at the end of '73 to join Maynard.
its much appreciated your info on the two sax players they helped contribute so much to the kenton sound. please pass on my regards to both the ladies. thank you
Mary Fettig is on tenor 2. I went to high school with Mary and we all knew that she would do well. She was on the band from 72-73, so this clip would be from that period.
Later Mary toured with Flora Purim and recorded with Marian McPartland. Today she lives in Pleasant Hill, Ca and she is still playing great.
Lisa Hittle was on the last Kenton band in 1978. I think she lives in the mid west, like Missouri, and is still playing and teaching
Peter Erskine´s first big gig! he left school at 17 to join kenton!
