Rooster_Ties Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) I can think of a bunch, but I'm sure there are a ton more I'm not (yet) aware of. I'll only mention one to start with, just to get the ball rolling... Gil Evans' son Miles Evans (yes, named after that Miles), plays trumpet (I think, if I remember right), and played in Gil's band (orchestra) for a number of years (at least in the 80's, that I'm aware of). The musician offspring need NOT be well known -- just whatever seems interesting to this thread. (And the jazz musician parent(s) need not be very well known, but at least known to some around here.) Others of note?? Remember, the musical offspring need NOT be involved in jazz. In some ways, I'm hoping this thread will reveal a few slightly well-known NON-jazz musician kids (with a jazz parent), that I and others here were not previously aware of.
