Tenor saxophonist Donny McCaslin's father was/is a California-based vibes player. Drummer Ben Perowsky recorded an album, "Bop On Pop," with his tenor saxophonist father, Frank Perowsky ( a fine player).

On the other hand, pianist Bruce Barth is not related to drummer Benny Barth (of The Mastersounds).

Pianist Larry Novak's son is Gary Novak (drummer with Chick Corea and Alanis Morrisette)

Not to be confused with the yeast physiologist, Gary Novak.

I often times get my yeast physiologists and drummers confused.

Easy mistake.

One can never be too careful.

So which one played with Allan Holdsworth?

Pianist Geoffrey Keezer's parents are both music teachers, if that counts.

IIRC Christian McBride has a line of bassists in the family.

And, I forgot trumpeter Nicholas Payton, whose father or uncle plays bass - what was his name?

Mercer Ellington

Me (my dad played in swing bands in the Seattle and Portland area after WWII, not a heavy jazzer, but could swing and blow some good solos)

Mercer Ellington's son Paul plays piano and leads today's Ellington Orchestra.
