Biography Jay Migliori


Jay Migliori
was born in Pennsylvania in 1930. After graduating from music school, he joined an army band and served in the Korean War. In the mid-1950s he moved to LA and played with Woody Herman, Miles Davis and others, and in the 1960s he became one of the West Coast's leading session players. In 1972, he was a founding member of the jazz group Supersax, for which he won a Grammy in 1973 for "Supersax Plays Bird". In parallel, he released Count The Nights And Times (1975), The Courage (1982) and Smile (1996) as a solo artist. This album was recorded in 1984 and was badly damaged, but when Jay died of colon cancer in 2001, his wife Patti brought it to Omnivore, where it was beautifully restored using the latest technology. It has now been released.
