Herb Cannon
Herb Cannon performs in John Sangster's lively little orchestra on the Jazz music series suites, music written for some of Australia's finest jazz musicians and full of creative spark, humour and lasting listening pleasure.
He is part of the small band that carries Sangster's suites across the later volumes, from Requiem through to Ripper: tight ensemble jazz with room for invention, wit and the long pleasure of repeated listening.
