The Don Lanphere Sextet - Go Again (1988/2023) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Don Lanphere was born June 26th 1928 in Wenatchee, Washington State. His father ran the biggest music store in town which is where Don first encountered jazz. His first big influence was Coleman Hawkins whose most famous solos he carefully learned. In his teens he often joined famous name bands like Jimmie Lunceford when they played in nearby Seattle.

He moved to North Western University, Illinois to study music and played in and around Chicago. When the leader Johnny Bothwell was playing a Chicago club in 1948 with his combo he engaged the young tenor player. The group then went to New York and was appearing at an uptown club where Don was fired for stealing Bothwell's current girl - Chan Richardson, the future Mrs. Charlie Parker. Lanphere's tenor style was by now heavily influenced by the new music and his growing reputation secured him a record date with the trend setting Max Roach/Fats Navarro band.
