[Trombone-l] Trombones with Bert Kaempfert

[George Carr]

No, I don't think so.  Jiggs played the lead book of the Kenton band
for about a year 1963-64.  A few years later, he moved to Europe and
was not associated with any US big bands after that, except as an
occasional guest soloist.

You might be thinking of John Fedchock, who was musical director for
Woody during the mid-1980s, before settling in NYC as a session player
and leader of his own big band.  But he did not, to my knowledge, run
the Woody Herman ghost band at any time after Woody's death.
