		As a teenager Fontana played trombone in a band led by his father, then joined Woody Herman in 1952.
		An enormously resourceful and inventive soloist, Fontana combines a phenomenal technique with a beautiful tone that he ably demonstrates on A Beautiful Friendship, recorded with Hanna at the 1975 Concord Jazz Festival.
		He is equally at home in a roaring big band and small groups with bebop or dixieland orientation, but is at his rhapsodic best in mainstream bands where he is given plenty of solo space.

		Fontana, of course, is pretty much a known quantity, having been a high—profile poll—winner for many years in this country, while Ohio—born Whigham made his name and reputation duriing more than thirty years abroad, performing in and / or leading a number of world—class ensembles including the BBC and RIAS Big Bands.
		Fontana and Whigham play open almost all the way (Jiggs uses a mute on his “Mini—Bar Blues”); no need to break the monotony where there is none.
