brownie Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Jiggs Whigham is a very good trombone player who has been a part of the European jazz scene for decades. The Stars and Stripes had a story this week on his current activities. Article Quote
Free For All Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Good article. Thanks for posting it, brownie. I've known Jiggs for many years and have great respect for him. Quote
Aggie87 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Back when I was in high school in Wiesbaden, I was a trumpet player in the regional honors band. Whigham came and did a workshop and perfored with the band, and was a fine musician and all around person. I enjoyed my brief time around him. Edit - the article says he's been doing this for 27 years - I guess I was in one of the the first seminars he did with the military schools over there! Edited January 13, 2011 by Aggie87 Quote
